Need Architect, what should I expect to pay?

I used www.nodenyc.com

I can reccommend Martin Safren.

I suggest David Ling www.davidlingarchitect.com

He's the one the Guggenheim Museum just decided to go with recently when they wanted to update their interior but still maintain their landmark status. He also does lots of NYC residential, and has worked on many townhouses before so he knows the drill inside and out.

I recommend Michael Vinocur at mvinocur@buildingequitynyc.com,
www.buildingequitynyc.com, they are great!

I am not sure they do particularly what you need, however they do come it for a free estimate. tell him Lara Lapysh gave you the contact.

Hope it works out!

I highly recommend Ann Macklin.

here is one more archivesid.com we recommended them for our friend and they were able to do a brakedown for design/appruval/construction costs for the townhouse before it was purchased

And how much shold the pay expected to be?

Dpends on the size, type, complexisty of the job. I think 8% of total construction cost is reasonable for residential renovation.

Thanks whocan

You are welcome, new_to_nyc. This is how much my architect charged me and personally I think it is fair.

It also depends on what the architect does

Are they just going to give you drawings?
Are they designing?
Are they overseeing the construction?

You can find someone cheap with the drawings suitable just for filing but not for building out
Maybe around 5-10k should include expediting
If you need Architect who is going to put mind in you project with specks and details probably around 25-50k depends how complex you project is
If u want them to manage construction project + 10-20k
