Clearly, when you're purchasing a service
like this, the cost can vary based on which firm you hire and what kind of
experience they have. This is why shopping around and comparing price quotes is
so integral to the process. However, there are some basic items you're paying
for, no matter who your quote comes from.
Structural design services are items that take skill and a long time to perfect, as
well as understand how to change them to fit different sites and situations.
This is why you want an experienced architect who knows how to work around
whatever problems might pop up while staying within the boundaries of the
regional building code. When you hire a professional to do this for you, you
are basically paying for access to his or her knowledge.
Another fact is that they have access to
software and programs that assist them with this entire process and this might
not be readily available to you. Rather than go out and invest in this kind of
computer program, you are paying them to do it for you and provide you with a
quality set of drawings. Along with the fees they charge you, you are also
paying for access to software that is up-to-date and is going to give you the
most reliable set of documents to work with.
Because every architect is the responsible
party when it comes to mistakes made during the building process, they also
carry an insurance policy. The cost of having a policy like this is added on to
every estimate and bill they send out, in order to reduce their overhead. Parts
of your fees are going to cover this bill for them, so they can actually afford
to work in their chosen profession also creating architectural
plan paper to cad.
Then of course, there is the size and the
details of the building that you want them to create on paper. The more involved
the project is and the more time they need to spend on it, the more they are
going to charge it. Once you understand this, then you know that the dollar
figure they charge you with isn't just coming out of thin air. It's based on
their company, the overhead they have, the software they are using and the size
of the project you bring to them. This will help you efficiently compare price
quotes too, because you now understand how those charges start accumulating in
the first place.
