When we say that typically people spend 20% more than the net construction cost on consultant fees, what does that actually mean?

Is that how much the architect takes?

The simple answer is no, the architect is just one consultant within this 20%.

As a rule of thumb, these include:

  • architect fees
  • structural engineer fees
  • party wall surveyor fees
  • building control fees
  • and so on
