Bang Pra Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 I am looking for a residential architect in Chonburi area to design two houses. It seems that most architects are actually working for contractors who design and build houses. At this stage I am looking for design only. If anyone can recommend an imaginative architect it would be appreciated. Not looking for a big practice, would prefer someone who runs own small practice or maybe someone from a large firm who could do the work privately. Thanks all.
Nawtilus Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 I know someone, how much is your project budget for building each house. He charges 10% to 12% of construction cost.

Thanks for your reply but with the greatest of respect 10% to 12% of the building cost for architect’s fees is a total rip-off! I have been involved in property development internationally for over 20 years and an architect anywhere would not get or expect anymore than 5 to 6% and that would be for a full service. Thanks again anyway

Thanks again anyway depends upon your scope of services. If its just design services, 6% would be quite reasonable. The place where fee gets burned up is in Construction Admin....site visits ain't free. you get what you pay for.
