HOW WE PRICE OUR EFFORTS

FEES & EFFORT

In general, Architects charge in different ways i.e. as a percentage of the total construction cost or as a fixed fee with a stipulated sum or as a reflection of the number of hours needed to do the work. Our professional Fees will be directly proportional to the amount of work and Project deliverables.

LICENSED ARCHITECTS

As we are registered licensed architects from Council of Architects, we charge by the norms set by Council of Architects.

FEES/ SQ.FT OF BUILD UP AREA

We charge on Rate per sq.ft basis of your total built-up Area. It is independent of your total building cost or your material specifications. (using of Burma teak wood door or normal flush door will not affect our fees.) We will work on the total fees structure right at the beginning of any project.

SPLIT PAYMENT MODE

The total fees is split into different construction stages (i.e., Foundation Level, Ground Floor Level, First Floor Level) again as mentioned by COA. This is to ensure that we give our deliverables and get the fees.

VARIED SCOPE & WORK

Depending on the scope of work, i.e.,
1. Only Architecture Design
2. Architecture Design + Landscape Design
3. Interior Design + Architecture
4. Master planning + Landscape the professional fees may vary.
For Small projects we work with fixed fees also.

GUARANTEED SATISFACTION

At GDS we don’t charge for revisions. We work for the user satisfaction. In the due course of time if the requirement changes, i.e., residential to commercial or individual house to apartments, we have to charge separately for revisions. At any point of time there is no policy of refund as the amount is directly proportional to the time and effort we put in designing

DEAR CLIENT,

The right question is not “How much will an architect COST you?” but rather “How much can an architect SAVE and MAKE for you?”

Firstly, a good architect will help lead you through a complicated and difficult process.
Savings: your sanity.

Secondly, a good architect will help you get the same benefit out of a 10% smaller area by designing it for space efficiency.
Savings: 10% on construction, 10% on taxes, and 10% on upkeep and operations.

Thirdly, a good architect will make your building more energy efficient and reduce the maintenance on your structure.
Savings: 10-20% or more on annual operational costs.

Fourthly, a good architect will produce a set of documents (CDs) suitable for competitive bidding.
Savings: 10-20% of the construction cost you would have gotten without the CDs after all the change orders to incorporate elements you failed to tell the contractor about.

Fifthly, a good architect will design a building that is timeless and stylish and will most likely sell for 10-20% more than similarly located non-architect designed buildings. So, the money you “save” by not hiring a good architect may cost you more, over the life of your ownership of the building.
