How much (range) to pay for architect in the Philippines for house design, middle sized?

Just give me any idea. Thanks.How much (range) to pay for architect in the Philippines for house design, middle sized?
The UAP (united architect of the philippines) documents states that a licensed architect should charge a client 10% of the TOTAL cost of the project, but now a days it is rarely implemented.





Most architects charge a fee of their own depending on the negotiations, packages can be discussed to up to what extent you would need the expertise of the architect, for example you can just hire him for design or a full time service of Design + Build + Construction Management. All in all you will still be the head of the project, consider your self as the boss of the project, the architect will report every bits of pieces of information and you make most of the decisions.





For starters A 145 sq meters 2 story residential building with fully furnished material would cost for about 2.5m to 3m pesos depending on the materials, the architect can charge you for 10,000 per sq of the project so approx. will total to 145,000 pesos for the full service, but that is totally negotiable depending on your skills... lol





Good luck with your new house, That will be a good investment...How much (range) to pay for architect in the Philippines for house design, middle sized?
Architects can charge from 1% to 10% of the total construction cost of the project. For big projects in industrial or commercial, the range of architect's fee is 1% to 3%. For medium size projects the range is 3% to 5% and small ones the range is 5% to 10%. So housing is under the small category.





Example, the construction cost of the house is P2M. The architect can charge as low as P100,000 to P200,000 max. Take note that this fee will be divided and shared proportionately by design engineers also e.g. civil, structural, electrical, sanitary engineers. The architect also has to pay for the plans original and blueprints.
Actually, it depends on the architect. But its a percentage of the cost to build the house.





Example - if the house would need 3 million pesos to build and the architect would ask for 20%, then the architects fee is 600,000 pesos.
Why reinvent the wheel? You don't need one. Any reputable building contractor will have a wide range of plans available for you to choose from. Custom design will add a small fortune onto the price.
it depends on your requirement for your house structure... is it simple or with ambience... is it service rendered or do you intend to ask them to see through the finished unit...
Whatever it is I get paid more :)
