Our Approach
Every project is unique and requires a tailored design approach.
Our fees depend on the scope, complexity, location, and construction budget of the project.
For most residential and hospitality projects, architectural services typically represent:
8% – 12% of the total construction cost.
This model ensures that the design process scales appropriately with the ambition and complexity of each project.
Fee Structure
We generally work with three pricing models depending on the project type.
-
This is the standard method used internationally for architectural services.
Typical range:
8% – 12% of total construction cost
Example:
Construction budget
$400,000 USD
Architectural services (10%)
$40,000 USD
This approach allows the design process to adapt to the project’s scale while maintaining design quality and technical precision.
-
For certain projects, fees may be estimated per square meter of built area.
Typical ranges:
Mexico Projects
Concept Design
$25 – $40 USD / m²
Architectural Design
$45 – $65 USD / m²
Executive Project (construction documentation)
$65 – $90 USD / m²
Full Service Architecture + Interiors
$80 – $120 USD / m²
Europe Projects
Concept Design
$70 – $110 USD / m²
Architectural Design
$130 – $200 USD / m²
Executive Project
$200 – $270 USD / m²
Full Service Architecture
$270 – $380 USD / m²
-
For smaller projects such as apartments, interior renovations, or spatial concepts.
Typical range:
$2,000 – $6,000 USD
This usually includes:
spatial layout design
• material direction
• concept drawings
• preliminary 3D views
Project Phases
Our work typically unfolds across four main phases.
1 - Concept Design
Understanding the site, context, and client vision.
Deliverables may include:
concept sketches
spatial diagrams
initial layouts
preliminary 3D visualizations
2 - Design Development
Refining the architectural proposal.
Deliverables may include:
architectural plans
sections and elevations
material selections
coordination with structural and technical consultants
3 - Executive Project
Technical documentation required for construction.
Deliverables may include:
construction drawings
technical details
coordination with engineers
permit documentation
4 - Construction Phase
Ensuring the design is properly executed during construction.
Services may include:
site visits
contractor coordination
design supervision
