Discussion about
What is the usual structure for architect fees? The architect we were referred to charges 20% of construction costs. We're estimating construction costs for renovating a kitchen and bathroom, painting and moving doors around, to be $200k. I'm a neophyte, but this fee structure seems to have an inherent conflict of interest + doesn't make total sense to me the architect gets a % of the painting cost -- or of redoing the floors, for example, if we decide to do that. Any thoughts will be appreciated!
