We seem to be having some listserv issues so I am forwarding the following on behalf of Gary Brown.

Subject: Pardon the interruption

Hello all.  I need your collective opinions on something.  A firm client is in the process of hiring an architect.  The client has already selected the architect, and is in the process of negotiating the contract, and wants feedback on the proposed fee.

The project consists of a large (over 30 acres) site and includes 2 phases.  One will include a new office building over 300,000 s.f. and approximately 5,000 s.f. of a retail outlet. The other will include site planning only for approximately 150,000 s.f.  The architect will provide architectural, interior design, consulting and site planning for the project.  Design and documentation services are not included in the 2nd phase but the 1st phase will include everything from conceptual design through construction documents and then construction administration.  The whole project from start to finish, design through construction, will take over 2 years.

I'm looking for a rough estimate for what the total fee should be or how it should be calculated. Is there a per square foot average that is "industry" standard for design services?  What is the going hourly rate for on-site construction administration services?

Email your comments to gbrown at wsh-law.com<mailto:gbrown at wsh-law.com>.

Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

Gary
