Every project is a unique and original experience that requires coordination of owners, consultants, authorities, and contractors based on the project type and the Client’s Level of participation. The Scope of Work and associated Fees will vary with each architect and project type.

A variety of Services may be required before starting the design of any project. It is the Client's responsibility to provide As-Built Plans, Existing Site Plans, or ALTA Surveys. If this information cannot be provided, we can recommend or offer Pre-Design Services.

We will use your provided Scope or Work and Program to bring your vision to life.

Most local codes and ordinances must approve Architectural and Engineering Plans plans prior to the start of any construction.

These plans will give the local authority a chance to review your project for code compliance and provide approval of a building permit.

The Client is responsible for completing Permit Applications and paying any associated fees to the local authorities; however, we may assist the Client with approvals if they need assistance.

Services are not over after you receive the Building Permit.

Any work after the Permit is approved will be invoiced at hourly rates unless otherwise noted in the Service Agreement.

During Construction, we may need to respond to Requests for Information (RFI), review Shop Drawings submitted for review or approval, provide on- site meetings, review unforeseen conditions, or provide additional detailing. To avoid delay, work may proceed without your prior approval.

Varies on length of construction.

Invariably, there are things that are not always able to be drawn or anticipated during the Construction Documents phase.  Involving us in the Construction Administration phase allows the project design vision to be integrated into the details of the project seamlessly. Architects and Contractors think very differently – which is good – but not every Contractor’s decision balances function and aesthetics.

Should the Client choose not to engage the Architect in Construction Administration services, the Client assumes all responsibility for interpretation of the Contract Documents and for construction administration, observation or review and waives any claims against the Architect that may be in any way connected thereto.

Every project is unique, some expenses are variable and are not part of the fee. Be prepared for additional costs such as travel expenses, shipping fees, permit fees, and reproductions.
