How to quote as a architect
Architectural fees are quoted by stage, and the client’s real question is what they own at the end of each one. A proposal that lists concept design, planning submission and technical drawings as separate stages lets a client commit to the first without committing to all of them.
This template opens with three stage lines and a fee basis. Set your stages, state whether the fee is a percentage or fixed, and send a proposal that reads like a professional service, not a price.
What to include
- Project address and brief description
- Work stages, each with its deliverables
- Fee basis — fixed, hourly or a percentage of build cost
- Excluded consultants (structural, services, surveys)
- Planning fees, validity period and payment stages
Typical terms: Valid 30 days · invoiced on completion of each stage
Frequently asked questions
Percentage of build cost or fixed fee?
A percentage tracks a project whose cost is not yet known, but clients dislike a fee that rises with their own decisions. Fixed fees per stage are easier to accept and easier to defend — quote them where the scope of the stage is clear.
What should be excluded from an architect’s quote?
Structural and services engineering, surveys, planning application fees and building control. Naming them as exclusions is not a disclaimer — it stops the client assuming your fee covers the whole professional team.
