So what are we able to do to enhance our earnings while also giving the buyer the advantage of choice? I recommend that each practise should obviously publish their designers Fees for standard items of work. This could give the general public a clear concept of how much they’re going to be charged and it’ll let others in the profession know where their charges fit re other designers.

At the moment the main way for a Architect Scotland to determine how much to charge is to consult the Mirza and Nacey charges guides. This publication surveys designers in the United Kingdom and publishes a fair rate for most main sorts of work ; home, commercial, education, health-care and so on. It lists the charges charged on moving scale with the construction costs, the dearer the build the larger the designers charge. It is acquired by designers and isn’t something the average patron will purchase.
