[quote=Anonymous]We have talked to a handful and so far we've got to very wide ranges - the design build firms are all in the 7% or 8% range. The architects are in the 12% range. Can anyone guess at the difference? Why would a design build firm charge less (do they just assume they'll make it up on the construction?). I assume the extra 4 or 5% you pay for an architect is that you get an independent third party to oversee the entire build process (as opposed to hoping the design build firm does a good job). That seems valuable, I just dont know that its necessarily 4%+ valuable. [/quote]
