If only the EU could set up reciprocity for architects licensed in the US! Unfortunately, we don’t even have full reciprocity between states over here.

The important feature of the client architect relationship is that it *is* a relationship. Its a process of engagement and getting to know each other but on an altogether higher plane than romantic entanglements.

Clients who start with “how will I know if the architect is right for me” must not have read any of the myriad threads on Boards.ie or Askaboutmoney.com dealing with this subject. The Cliff’s Notes Versions follows:

1 See architectural work that you like.

2 Identify architect by contacting the occupier owner or local authority planning file

3 Evaluate architect by looking at their website or other built developments or planning and fire cert ciles in local authorities

4 Contact former clients owners or occupiers from files or website and get feedback on performance professionalism and or diligence

5 Meet and evaluate in person.

Hi Denis

Yes, excluding VAT. Don’t forget an architect can also work on agreed fixed lump sum or at an hourly rate

Is the fee based on percent of total building costs excluding vat on building costs?

Mark,
I find it very hard when people don’t value my time, that’s certainly not the clients I want to have. Thankfully I have been lucky enough to stay away of them…
