FEES FOR DOMESTIC PROJECTS
Below we have provided a rough guide to our fees or some typical projects. However every project is unique and has its own set of particular circumstances, therefore after the initial consultation, we will provide you with a bespoke fee proposal tailored to your needs.
Our fees are invoiced in stages in accordance with the Scottish Conditions of Appointment forms which we require all clients to sign. VAT is not applicable as we are not currently VAT registered.
In simple terms, we offer 2 different types of service, either a full or partial architectural service:
FULL SERVICE
-
With a full architectural service we manage the process from start to finish on site. This would include preparing options for the initial design (3d model is optional), obtaining cost advice, preparation of the planning application & building warrant application, preparation of the construction package and specification, management of the tendering process &s acting as a contract administrator during construction. We find that this level of service results in the best outcomes both in terms of quality & cost control.
PARTIAL SERVICE
-
A partial architectural service terminates at Stage 4, submission of the Building Warrant application, (again the 3D model is optional). This is normally only suitable for small & simple domestic works or, where the client has experience with construction. If you wish to proceed with a partial service, we can explain the differences in more detail prior to the appointment being signed.
