How much money does an architect make on one building design?

There are a number of ways an architecture firm can charge for services. The 2 most common are to bill to an hourly estimate as a "cost not to exceed" or to submit a proposal for a percentage of construction costs. When billing in a percentage manner, the fees usually run between 3-10% of construction costs. The bigger the project, the lower the fee percentage. An example of this fee curve is found here: The entire billed percentage does not go straight to the architecture firm. The architect is responsible for hiring engineering design consultants to design the building's structural, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, civil (sitework), and landscaping components. In an hourly rate, the architect computes the hours he/she thinks it's going to take to design the building. The design of a building is divided up into several phases (regardless of the billing method): Conceptual Design + Master Planning Schematic Design Design Development Construction Documents (Can be phased into 50%, 75%, 95%, 100%) Permitting + Bidding Construction Administration In the typical proposal, each phase is broken down into specific tasks, employee-specific titles, and subsequently hours are assigned to each task. For instance, in Design Development, the proposal may list the Project Manager performing 8 hours of work in engineering systems coordination and a Draftsman may account for 96 hours of CAD drawings. Tasks would also be assigned to the Project Designer, Firm Principal, and Clerical. Engineering consultant services are added to the proposal before it is finalized and sent to the client for approval.


Can a architect earn as much as a doctor or a lawyer?

Ofcourse! If he has the right clients and good connections, an architect can make more than a doctor or lawyer. As with any career associated with design and art, your name is everything. An architect must sell himself, if possible, to rich clients with no taste (that want greek columns, statues, and waterfalls everywhere). Once established, an architect can run his own firm, which like any business can make millions (I doubt an architect can become a billionaire through architecture alone, real estate development is key). Look at Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Carlos Calatrava, etc... They are all architects who have made millions through their designs. You can make money in anything, you just have to do it.


What are the chances of advancement for an architect?

Architects can work their way up to designing entire projects. They can also become partners in a firm or own their own firm.

Is an associated architect the same as an architect?

An "associated architect" just means that the architect is associated with an architecture firm, but is not yet a partner. Any Architect who is employed by another architect or firm is consider an Associate, until they become an owner/partner. Licenced Architect can be either a partner or an associated architect. Unlicensed architects (hold architectural degrees or certificates only) will often use the term Associate Architect because they rely on a Licenced Architect to overview and Sign & Seal their drawings.


Can you work in an engineering company if you finish in school as an architect?

Yes you may but not in the capacity of a structural designer. This is because of the fundamental difference between the training received by engineers and architects. An architect is trained to design the esthetics's, functionality, use, layout, etc of a building, whereas the engineer designs the structural components i.e. the foundations, columns, beams, etc. Additionally, to design the structural aspects of a building requires a professional engineer (PE) classification which is not offered to architects. In conclusion, if an architect was to work in a engineering firm he would be essentially be a draftsman unless its an architect & engineer (A&E) firm. This explanation could have been long and tedious but i hope this abbreviated version helped.
