Your project, in a few details

Technical packages include earlier design stages in this model. Construction-stage services are included only in “Full service”.

Optional for standard planning-drawing examples. Needed for the percentage-based model.

A budgeting guide, not a quote or an official tariff. Fee scope and VAT treatment must be agreed with the practice.

Your indicative allowance

Know the range.
Ask the right questions.

Tell us what you are planning. Your result explains its sources, assumptions and exclusions.

What else needs a budget?

Measured surveys, structural engineering, planning application charges, building control, party wall work, specialist reports, expenses and the building work itself may be separate. Ask each practice for an itemised proposal and a list of exclusions.

How reliable is this estimate?

There is no standard UK architect fee scale. Published examples cover different services and locations. This tool gives an indicative range using disclosed guide examples and a percentage model; it does not calculate a statistically representative national average.
