I firmly believe that every architectural project is as unique as the individuals behind it. That's why at Rowett Architecture we stay clear of adopting standard fees and instead, tailor our services to align with the specific needs and vision of each client and their project. Here's how we ensure transparency and accuracy in our fee proposal: 1️⃣ Initial Consultation: We like to kick things off with a complimentary 30-minute consultation call or video. This allows us to get to know our client, and their project details and grasp their goals and challenges firsthand. 2️⃣ Initial Meeting: Following the consultation, we schedule an in-person visit to the property. Face-to-face discussions enable us to thoroughly understand the finer details, refine the brief, and establish our client's priorities. 3️⃣ Bespoke Fee Proposal: With insights from our consultations and meetings, we can then prepare a customised fee and service proposal for our client's project. This document outlines exactly what we'll deliver, associated costs, and estimated timelines. For residential projects, we prefer a hybrid approach, blending hourly rates with fixed fees. This ensures our clients have cost certainty from the project's onset, especially since budget clarity isn't always immediate. At Rowett Architecture, we're committed to providing personalised architectural solutions that align perfectly with our client's vision.

One of the first questions that people ask when they begin to think about a design project is "How much does an architect cost?" This is the wrong question to ask. The real question is how much can an architect help you MAKE in terms of enhancing the value and utility of your building. Here is a short re-post that describes "The Value of Design" that hopefully explains why good design is a great investment: https://lnkd.in/epP5-jQ Thank you for reading, liking, commenting and sharing this post, if you find it interesting or informative. #ValueOfDesign #CaptialInvestment #DesignPlanning #TransformingArchitecture

Too often, “great design” is judged by aesthetics and fads. In a new article for Catalyst, Dan Heinfeld describes four key metrics that make the case that our integrated design process is producing better results. https://bit.ly/47U5Ytw #ChangingLivesByDesign #MeasurableResults #Design #Architecture #BuildingPerformance #PracticeManagement
