Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about working with us

What is the typical process for a new architectural project?

Our process typically includes an initial consultation, concept development, schematic design, design development, construction documentation, bidding/negotiation, and construction administration. The timeline varies depending on the project scope and complexity.

How much does it cost to hire an architect?

Architectural fees vary based on project type, size, complexity, and the level of service required. We typically structure our fees as a percentage of construction costs, hourly rates, or fixed fees. We provide detailed fee proposals after the initial consultation when we have a better understanding of your project requirements.

How long does an architectural project take?

Project timelines vary significantly based on scope and complexity. Small residential renovations might take 3-6 months from concept to completion, while larger commercial projects could take several years. The design phase typically represents about 25-30% of the total project timeline, with construction taking up the remainder.

Do you work on international projects?

Yes, we have experience working on international projects. We collaborate with local architects and consultants to ensure compliance with local building codes and regulations. Our approach to international work emphasizes cultural sensitivity and contextual design.

What information should I prepare for our first meeting?

It's helpful to bring any existing drawings or plans, site information, budget parameters, project timeline expectations, and images of designs you find appealing. The more information you can provide, the better we can understand your vision and requirements.
