What a fee proposal should tell you
Stages, inclusions and the questions worth asking before you appoint an architect.
A good fee proposal is a plan, not a number. It should explain what will be done, by whom and when.
Staged fees
We break our fees into the RIBA Plan of Work stages. You commit to one stage at a time and can pause between them.
What is excluded
Surveys, engineers, planning fees and party wall matters are often separate. A clear proposal lists them so there are no surprises.
