The table above gives ballpark architect fees you may expect to pay for simple planning applications and drawings only. Most architects will charge a percentage of the total cost of the building works. Typically this ranges between 5% and 15% on average. The cost of an architect can vary depending on a range of factors including complexity and how long it will take to complete. An example of a complex project would be working on a listed building.

An architect, an architect technologist, and an architectural technician are not the same thing and different due to their level of experience and the actual aspects of work they complete. Their pricing structure varies significantly for these roles, so always clarify this detail when asking for a quote.
