Each phase of work can be separated into a cost per square foot as follows:Ĭoncept development and drafts: $2–$5 per square foot, including preliminary design consultation, site visit, and initial draft documents.Ĭonstruction documents: $2–$5 per square foot with detailed drawings for all construction elements, from framing to electrical and plumbing.
This billing method is not often used because there is a lot of variation in the level of effort required by a project. You’ll pay anywhere from $2 to $15 per square foot for an architect. If you need limited services, such as simple building plans, you might be able to use an hourly rate-alternatively, you could hire an architectural draftsperson.
Hourly rates make sense for smaller projects or to solve a specific design issue. Intern architects typically run $65 to $90 per hour, but they need to work alongside a higher level architect, so you'll likely see a bill for both. If you hire an architect on an hourly basis, expect $125 to $250 per hour for a principal or project manager level architect. Find hiring guides, material costs, expert advice, how-to's and more.
