Architect Model
Bespoke design
The architect
An architect designs your home without discussions with engineers, builders and interior designers.
You can’t walk through the home design and experience the layout, proportions of the spaces and quality of the fixtures and fittings.
Bespoke design
Once the design is completed, the plan is passed on to an engineer.
The engineer needs to work with the plans supplied by the architect and has no input into the viability and costs of the structural design.
The engineer
The engineer designs the structural systems of the house without any consultations with the contracting builder.
They may find costly structural issues with the plan which needs to go back to the architect for alterations, adding to the client’s overall costs.
Building tender
The client is happy with the design but at this stage won’t know the true costs of the build or whether it’s on budget until they tender it out to different builders.
Often quotes come back with varying degrees of build quality and estimates.
Quote and fees
It’s up to the client to determine which builder quotes will deliver the best final outcome for them.
Throughout the whole process, the architect’s fees are paid as each stage is completed with many architects charging around 6%-18% of your final build costs.
Variable pricing
Because the design team are separate from the construction team, unexpected issues can arise which may add to the build cost.
Materials, fittings and features often have to be custom-made to the architect’s and engineer’s specifications, therefore adding to the overall build cost.
