The typology of architects who underquote is a concerning trend in the industry. Some compromise project quality for contractor kickbacks, while others lack original design ideas, resulting in unimaginative buildings lacking creativity and innovation. It's puzzling how architects quoting below blue-collar rates manage to uphold quality standards. At our firm, we prioritize fee integrity, starting at INR 50 for larger projects and up to INR 500 PSFT for homes. With our calendar booked until July, we are accepting new projects in mid-August for select premium ventures, with an average project size of 1 lakh SFT. Personal client vetting ensures a shared vision and harmonious project journey. Collaboration with mutual admiration is key to navigating challenges gracefully. Respecting all roles, from architects to tile layers and cleaners, is paramount to our ethos and project success. Everyone involved plays a crucial part in bringing projects to life. Substandard pricing leads to substandard practices and projects. Quality comes with integrity at all levels including pricing and ethics. Do you agree? #architects #construction

Commercial property people. Do the architects you work with know Part L inside out? Regulations are always changing, so choosing an Architect who knows the current standards is crucial to ensure you’ll get approval at the end of the process. If not, you could experience delays in obtaining Building Regulation approval, leading to a redesign of internal spaces, or worst case, a costly retrofitting. Your architect’s experience with Part L to incorporate the calculation criteria within their initial designs will ensure that your scheme is compliant from the outset.

One of clients' most common questions when setting budgets for prime residential projects is how much to allocate for professional fees. As cost consultants, we know this isn’t always straightforward, but it’s essential to explain the various consultants and fees that must be covered to deliver a project successfully. For high-end residential builds, the professional costs typically include architects, structural engineers, quantity surveyors, and possibly interior designers, landscape architects, and planning consultants—each playing a vital role. But here's where it gets interesting: the smaller the project, the higher the ratio of professional fees to construction costs. This is because the same level of detailed oversight and expert input is required, regardless of the project's size, which means the percentage spent on consultants can increase as the overall build cost decreases. For example, you might expect professional fees to be around 10-15% of the construction cost on a large project. This can jump to 15-20% or even higher on smaller projects. It's crucial to communicate this to clients early so they understand that investing in professional expertise ensures the project stays on track, avoids costly mistakes, and achieves the desired quality. Without this, the risk of budget overruns, delays, and compromises on design or build quality increases significantly. For those of you working on similar projects, how much do you typically allow for professional costs in your budgets? Comparing approaches is always interesting, especially when balancing the need for thorough consultation with client expectations. #ArchitectLife #PrimeResidential #ProjectBudgets #CostConsulting #Construction
