Architectural Home Design

Posted by Sumirno on Thursday, March 11, 2010


While each architectural design firm has their own unique approach to their work, it is important to find a home architect that has architectural services that fit your needs. You need to be clear on your needs and goals when you are searching for the right architectural design company for your project. This way, you’ll be sure to get the architectural services that you need. Some of the main questions you need to answer when looking for a residential architect include: do you need more space? What activities will go on in the new space? What is your budget for the project and how will it be financed? Will you be doing some of the work yourself? Once you have your questions answered and you know what you need and want, you can begin the process of choosing the right architectural services for your project.

Building Your List of Architecture Firms That Do Modern Design

Now you need to start building your list of architecture firms that can do the project you need. You can start by looking at the architectural design firms in your area that specialize in modern design. If you are seeking a residential architect (rather than building an office), search specifically for residential architects. Contact your local chamber of commerce for recommendations, speak to friends and relatives, or contact the American Institute of Architects. Any of these areas are great ways to find good architectural services for your project.

Custom Homes Architects or Residential Architects?

All custom homes architects are residential architetects, but not all residential architects are custom homes architects. Some residential architects design homes for developments where none of the homes are custom – they are all the same.

Custom home architects design one home at a time. They create a completely custom-made design – one that is unique and has never been created before. They spend the time to get to know their clients, and their clients’ desires, wishes, dreams, styles, tastes, likes and dislikes. The custom home architect wants to create a perfect fit for the client. The client’s new custom home will become a true reflection of the client.

Architectural Design, Production Building, Analysis and Planning Unit Price Cost Budget Minimalist Home Designs

Architectural Design, Production Building, Analysis and Planning Unit Price Cost Budget Minimalist Home Designs

How to know the cost of consulting, architectural design costs (home), the cost of production to make buildings and Budget Planning & Cost. To explain these three things, of course not enough just with words, because all three are technically it should be accompanied by examples of its application.

Architectural Design Fees

Design cost is the cost to be incurred by consumers in a certain amount agreed upon in exchange for services performed by architects / planners to design a house or building architecture.

Determination of the design cost is usually determined by two things, namely:

If the architect only makes the design, the design fee amount = 3% of Production Cost Buildings.

Example: Consumers want home designs with an area of 120 m2, the building known production costs (to be discussed hereafter) is $ 250/m2, then the architect of his registration fee: 3% x (120 x $ 250) or: (3 x 120 x $ 250) / 100 = $ 900

If the architect to design and conduct supervision (surveillance) on the implementation and production of these buildings, the fee amount is determined based on the percent / percentage of its production cost structure. In this case the amount fee: 5% to 8% of the cost of building production.

Example: Design is a home created with an area of 120 m2, the building known production costs (to be discussed hereafter) is $ 250/m2, then the amount of the architect registration fee: 5% x (120 x $ 250) or: (5 x 120 x $ 250) / 100 = $ 1500

With the two examples above payment system, of course you have to wisely choose what type of payment in accordance with the budget / budget. So you do not need to complain about the high cost to pay for an architect (no offence).

Building Production Cost

Production cost of the building are a number of funds issued by the consumer to purchase and pay the wages of workers, builders / contractors, materials, taxes (VAT) and other costs.

Production cost of this building if the estimated amounts ranging from: $ 250 to $ 350 per square foot of building area to be created, depending on the type and details of buildings to be made (simple, moderate, and luxury).

Example: You'll build a house area of 120 m2, then the costs should you spend to realize the building (to pay wages, materials, etc.) amounted to: 120 m2 x $ 250 = $ 30,000. This price does not include fee contractors / contractor (for 10% of production costs), and taxes (VAT).

To reduce the amount of any fees you spend, you could just eliminate the fee, the contractor carrying out their own way building design has been designed.

Examples of this calculation is based on the assumption that you already have the land / soil is ready for use, and type / detail building middle-end category.

Maybe some of you ask, how detailed calculation or estimation of the production costs of the building?

Detailed estimates of production costs that will be described further in the calculation of Unit Price Analysis (wage labor, materials, equipment, contractor / builder, etc.).

Analysis of the results of calculations are later Unit Price is the cost components that direkap / added in the Budget and Cost Plan.

Now you may be able to guess about how much profit is earned by real estate developers to house 1 unit sold to the buyer. Or it could be reversed, how many buyers who lost money due to lack unfamiliarity home buyers estimate the cost that will be purchased.

But I do not recommend you to protest against such developers. Because however, the developer is also doing business, and real estate / housing is part of a business. And of course the business must be profit, assuming that housing prices as a reward from the business developer to break event point on capital or capital that they have issued

Before you decide to build your House Elegant I suggest you consult an architect who first told you believe, you do not have to worry will be charged, because in terms of consultation is usually no charge.

From the article above can be summed up, it costs to pay for the architect was not too big, so you as a prospective customer should not be afraid to deal with competent professionals to design your dream home.

Description / complete planning of the cost of architectural design, sample design, plan / layout and look of the building, the production cost, unit cost analysis, and budget and cost plan you can see in my article to be the next post
