I found it helpful to use Adobe Sign – I can see when they open it and they can digitally sign and it is sent to me to speed up the process
From Darryl Rewniak
How should we deal with questions related to : Identify any special need, risks or consideration that may not have been identified in the RFP. Is this why they should be hiring us. Why should we divulge our experience and then then hire someone else. How is the best way to respond?
From Steven Lenchner
Don’t ask, don’t get.
From Deborah Ramos
I often hear of charging per square foot but have never heard what the amount is typical
From Darryl Rewniak
We typically charge out 2.5 – 3.0 times our hourly rate (paid to staff) as this covers overhead and profit.
From Amanda Morris
@Allison – my firm charges the same way.
From Steven Lenchner
Statewhat you want and the stop talking. If you say anything afterhouask, you’ve given away your power.

From Hesham Elfar
we still do
From Alan Crawford
I disagree
From Hesham Elfar
Construction Managers charge percentage of construction fee.
From Laura Blau
they also decide to do some work themselves and then want that deducted. of course who does the work does not change how much design is provided! we stopped 5 fee.
%fee
From David Lees
Percentage fees are used when we can with a backstop that they cannot be reduced if we have done the work and the tenders are lower than expected. Clients often inflate projects, so it stops awkward re-negotiation. Probably about 30-40% of our work.
From Alan Crawford
The architect needs to capable of working to provide a budget cost estimate of the construction which can be done with experience and then you can nail the % fee quite accurately. What they don’t like is uncertainty on the fee!
From Laura Blau
WE do a masterplannng fee and a chance to continue or not after that once the scope is clarified.
From Steven Lenchner
Isn’t it common to charge a fee for a proposal and then, if the proposal is accepted, to roll that fee into the project?
From Alan Crawford
One area that never gets discussed is the added financial value added to a project (before and after) and this is often a great incentive to negotiate a higher fee
From Carl Erickson
We NEVER EVER give away design work for free.  NEVER.  The conceptual design is the most valuable thing we do.
From Jennifer Campbell
ENGAGEMENT FEE!
From Elisabeth Martin
What recouorse do you have when a client gives your pre-design to another architect to use and you have put a copyright mark on the pre-design but you do not want to go through the costly court and legal system?
