When it comes to architectural services, one of the most common initial questions we hear at Modus Architects is, "What are your fees?" It's a great question and an important aspect of planning your project. Our fee structure is tailored to meet each project's specific needs and complexities, ensuring that you receive the most value and appropriate level of professional support.

The first step in our process involves understanding your budget. This is crucial because it sets the foundation for what is achievable within the scope of your project. We need to ensure that your budget aligns with your aspirations. Sometimes, what you envision may not align perfectly with the financial resources available, and this is where our expertise comes in—to guide and adjust the project without compromising your essential goals.

Whether you are looking to build a new home, renovate an existing property, or embark on a commercial build, each type of project carries its complexities and requirements. Our fees are calculated based on the work needed to complete your job effectively. This includes:

•  Preliminary assessments and feasibility studies: Determining what can be done legally and practically with your property.

• Design work: From initial sketches to detailed plans and revisions.
• Project management services: Overseeing the construction to ensure everything is built according to plan, within budget, and on schedule.

• Administrative tasks: Such as securing permits and coordinating with contractors.

After reviewing your budget and the project details, we provide a detailed quote that outlines our fees. This quote reflects the specific services required for your project and the scope of work anticipated. Our goal is always to offer the best price for the particular set of services needed to bring your project to fruition successfully.

• Transparency: From the outset, you'll understand what services you are paying for and why.
• Customisation: Our fees are not one-size-fits-all.They are customised to the specifics of your project, ensuring you pay only for what you need.
• Adaptability: As projects evolve, so can our services. If changes are needed, we adjust our role and fees accordingly.

It's important to recognise that architectural design and construction involve a series of decisions and, sometimes, compromises. Your desired outcome may require adjustments due to budget constraints, planning laws, or other unforeseen challenges. We are here to guide you through these decisions, ensuring that the integrity of the project is maintained while still aligning with your vision and budget.
