What are your fees?
Our fees are based on industry-average percentage of the projected construction budget, typically 3.5-7% for design+drafting only and 7-14% for full services, including administration of consultants, permits and building contract. The higher the construction budget, the lower the percentage.
What are your contractural terms and conditions?
Standard Client Architect Agreement unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Do you offer internships or work experience?
No, but occasionally we mentor new practitioners and post-graduate students.
Do you have photos of projects?
The majority of our work is residential; we do not ask clients to photograph their private homes. Our public buildings may be visited. Some work can be found online in independent media. Generally we focus on work, not marketing.
On request we can share drawings of relevant previous projects.
Where are you based?
We work Tasmania- and Australia-wide, as well as internationally. Meetings by appointment are organised on-site or in serviced offices located in client’s capital city or regional centre. Due to frequent ongoing travel associated with our many other commitments, in most cases we do not need to bill travel expenditure to clients. If the location is unusual or very remote, we confirm with the client in advance any travel-related costs.
Our production atelier is on private property and not open to public, however it may be visited on request in certain circumstances.
Do you take on pro bono work?
Yes, depending on circumstances we can waive or reduce our fees.
