Pricing Structure

PRICING STRUCTURE -DESIGN ONLY

Our Architectural design pricing can be based on several factors.  We can either quote you a fixed architectural design price after completing our complementary Design assessment or an hourly rate, or work with a general idea of square foot of your design rates as also set out below. Each of which can have their advantages or disadvantages that we fully layout in our initial design consultation

Pricing Options:

  1. Fixed Price Architectural Design Rate:
    • Is based on a few factors (Typically single rooms like Kitchens, Baths, or Landscapes) Etc., and, however, if working on a fixed design price structure we do this design work with the understanding, that we include three major revisions, and any revisions after that are then done on an hourly rate.
    • Range from $1,000 to $7,500

2. Standard Square Foot Architectural Design Rate is like our fixed quoted rate:

  • most of our custom home designs tend to range between $1.70 – $3.00 per sq. ft. for the main level of a custom home design. 
  • Garage area for an attached standard 2-car garage is included in our base main floor sq. ft. rate, however if building a home with more than a 2-car garage requirement, we then base a rate for the “extra garage area” at $0.25 a sq. ft. for the “area difference
  • Developed space over detached buildings such as a “ADUs”, nanny suite or guesthouse, generally invoice that out at our normal house design rate of $1.70 – $3.00 per sq. ft., depending on the complexity of the structure.

3. Hourly Architectural Design Rate is $65 – $150 per hour: Based on Scope of Work

  • All hourly work is tracked by our CAD system’s internal clock and is tracked based on “actual design time” meaning that the only time billed is if our designer is actually working on your plans with all design working time “clocked” in five-minute intervals, meaning if your designer takes a coffee break then you’re not paying for that time. We provide you with a fully printed very detailed time report for all by-the hour design time.
