We follow the pricing standards set by the COA​
Fee Schedule
Council of Architecture is the legal body covering the practicing aspects of licensed architects like us. We charge in proportion to the standards set by COA – Nothing more and nothing less. This ensures that you don’t pay over what the Govt. recommends. And neither do we get paid below the standards.
No hidden costs or under table dealings
We don’t charge for revisions. Neither we complain
We charge in proportion to the time, effort and resource we put in
The most common method is to charge a percentage on the total building cost. Though this sounds easy, we don’t prefer the uncertainty part of it. And honestly, our quantum of work is independent of whether you use expensive materials or leave it with General spec. We charge on Per Sft basis and arrive at the figure right at the start of the project. Design is intangible – Difficult to quantify or justify when it comes to scaling charges. Our expenses come from the expertise we’ve in our team to deliver the best. Our charges would be based on the resources, their efforts and the time they put in your project.
We’re an ethical firm and would prefer to remain the same forever. We neither try to make some money behind your back nor would we surprise you with unannounced additional charge. We transfer all the benefits the contractors and vendors offer us, directly to you.
Scale is no deal breaker for us. Your space is never too small or too big to work on. All we’ll ask for is some creative freedom and apt compensation for the resources and efforts we put in. We’ve done projects as small as a few hundred sft to the one which scaled upto 5 lakhs sft.
Ideas evolve over time. We appreciate that. As long as we revise a design to make the product look better, we don’t complain. Even if it burns a hole in our pocket, we don’t buckle in. Honestly, your building is our business-card. We care as much as you do.
A well thought product serves much better than a normal one. Design costs are never the place to start cost-cutting when it comes to fitting a project to a specific budget. Our skills and expertise can save a lot of cost and time for you which will in return maximize the benefits of your investment in the longer run.
FAQ
Why shouldn't I choose a freelance designer who could do this for a cheaper price? We read this somewhere: Tajmahal would not have been so beautiful and everlasting if Shahjahan would have taken quotations and gone for the lowest. Please suit yourself. ​
Can I pay after I see the design? It is like asking a lawyer to charge fees only after your case is won. It is not possible because design in custom made, takes our time and resources, and we stand no chance of covering our costs if not paid by the one to whom it was designed for. Though we value our time more than money, we don’t prefer to risk either of it. But we’ll make sure you are given enough opportunities to review our previous works better before signing up.
I just need a rough sketch. Can't you do that for free? Our Time, Effort, Ideas, Knowledge and Skills is what you mean by a Rough Sketch and we don’t share them for free. A good design is a well thought product and it only happens when we are assured of the acknowledgements, especially the monetary one!
