When you are planning a home to be built, don’t just ask “How much will the architect charge?”
Also ask:
- “Will my home stands out from the crowd?”
- “Will the re-sale value of this home increased in future?”
- “Will my architect cut unnecessary cost by planning?”
- “Will I love living here every day?”
Architect’s charge is the first investment of your dream home. Their charge depends on their service providing. When you are hiring an architect, it’s best to know why you have to pay an architect?
1. Expertise & Smart Design
- When you hire an architect, you’re not just paying for drawings. You’re getting their years of education, design skills, and smart problem-solving.
- They create homes that are not only beautiful but also practical and comfortable for your everyday life.
2. Avoiding Costly Mistakes
- A poor plan or wrong room layout can cost you a lot of money to fix later.
- Architects spot problems early and fix them before construction even begins, saving you from wasting time and money.
3. Saving Money on Budget and Materials
- Architects know how to use materials wisely and plan your structure to avoid extra costs.
- They make sure your home looks great but is also practical, something a regular builder might not always focus on.
4. Higher Property Value
- A professionally designed home will sell for more and attract better buyers or renters.
- Good design stays attractive and useful for many years, making your investment stronger over time.
5. Managing the Whole Project for You
- Architects work with engineers, contractors, and suppliers, so you don’t have to handle everything yourself.
- They make sure the construction follows the plan, avoiding confusion and mistakes at the site.
Architects usually charge in one of these ways:
1. Percentage of Total Construction Cost
- Typical Range: 1% to 5%
Example:
For a home costing Rs.20 Million to build:
Architect’s fee might be between Rs200,000.00 – Rs1,000,000.00
2. Per Square Foot Rate
- Typical Range: Rs.50 to Rs.500 per Sq. Ft
- Depends on Level of detailing and Complexity.
3. Lump Sum / Fixed Fee
- Ideal for small or specific-scope projects (e.g., renovation, façade design)
- Fixed amount agreed in advance for a defined scope
An Architect fee is an investment
An architect’s fee is not a cost, it’s an investment in quality living, long-term savings, and peace of mind. The right architect doesn’t just give you a building, they craft a home that works, feels right, and lasts a lifetime.
