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?
We do not photograph our projects (with some exceptions), as the majority of our work is residential – our client’s private spaces. Some of our buildings are public and may be visited. On request we can share drawings of relevant previous projects. Generally we dedicate our capacity to work, not marketing, and let our buildings speak for themselves.
Where are you based?
Our production atelier is on private property and not open to the public. We work Tasmania- and Australia-wide, as well as internationally. Due to frequent travel associated with our widespread ongoing projects, in most cases we do not need to bill travel expenditure to clients. If the location is unusual or very remote, we discuss any travel-related costs with the client in advance.
Do you take on pro bono work?
Yes, depending on circumstances we can waive or reduce our fees.
