[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you ask the architect who is charging 14% what services  their price included?  At 14%, it should include some construction management in addition to the design and working drawings and possibly some interior architecture.

What do you consider a fair price to pay an architect (whether it be an architect or the architectural services with a design build company) for a +/- $120,000 addition/ remodel?[/quote]

OP here:  the 14 percent does not include project management; if the contractor has a question, he calls the architect and not us.  The architect also checks in to make sure everything is going to plan.  However, the GC really manages the job.  This is at least how the architect explained it to us.

I don't know how much I should be paying an architect (I have never used one), but I think this is going to be about a 300k renovation, so 14 percent is over 40k, which is a huge add on to an already expensive renovation.  I've looked on dcurbanmom and some say they hired an architect for a flat fee or for a smaller percentage, but no one says who that architect was.[/quote]
