Discussion Topic: Chapter 3.9: Architectural Design Services and Fees
We’ll discuss the challenges of providing and determining compensation for architectural services, emphasizing the importance of educating clients about the value of these services. This chapter highlights how an architect’s ideas and knowledge can significantly increase the real estate or commercial value of a building and result in savings in operating and maintenance costs. We’ll explore various ratios for design, construction, operation, and personnel costs, and the benefits of upfront investment in effective decision-making for long-term sustainability.
