Architectural Design Services and Fees
Learn how to identify appropriate services for clients and setting a value for those services in a rapidly changing, knowledge-based professional service industry at this session, featuring chapter 3.9 of the Canadian Handbook of Practice for Architects (CHOP).

Discussion Topic:
Chapter 3.9: Architectural Design Services and Fees

We'll discuss the challenges of providing and determining compensation for architectural services, emphasizing the importance of educating clients about the value of these services. This chapter highlights how an architect's ideas and knowledge can significantly increase the real estate or commercial value of a building and result in savings in operating and maintenance costs. We'll explore various ratios for design, construction, operation, and personnel costs, and the benefits of upfront investment in effective decision-making for long-term sustainability.
