SERVICES & PROCESS | Typical Residential Architectural Project

Architect’s services can vary significantly depending on the project. Below is a summary of our typical architectural services for a domestic build, which can be tailored to any client requirements. An initial meeting is free of charge and we would be delighted to provide individual fee proposals based on the project's scale and complexity, plus the required scope of services. In the UK, fees are typically charged as a percentage of construction cost, lump sum or time charge / hourly rate.
