The
architect’s

fee
Deliverable-based fee

Deliverable-based fees are compiled in the form of a schedule of activities and outcomes involved in
the architect’s service. This form of fee calculation is typically used when the architect provides a partial
service. The client may then choose the extent of the architect’s service based on what will be required.
However, clients should be forewarned that partial services may not adequately fulfil their needs and
the requirements of the service to be fulfilled should include at the very least all the statutory provisions.
In addition, the client’s investment may not be fully safeguarded without the provision of full services
which are advisable in most instances. The necessary services are required by law to be provided by
appropriately trained professionals.
