Question : How much does an architect charge for a residential remodel?
We want to add an upstairs to our 2000 sq ft home. approximately an additional 750 sq ft. We spoke to an architect and he talked to the city and told us the process. How much should we expect the architect to charge us for drawing the plans, etc..?

For commercial, it is generally about 6% of the remodel. However, the remidel $ amount is not going to be as ‘pricey’, so it will prolly be a fixed fee. Alot of it is going to depend on how elaborate of a remodel you are wanting, and how extensive his work will be….. I would figure a few grand at least…..
$ 1,125.00 should be what you’re charged for this. $ 1.00 per square foot is standard for design, the additional .50 is for the additional engineering that’s involved in there being a second story addition.
Shop the project out to several architects for estimates on their services. They should come out and survey the project and be able to give you their dollar amount on the spot. I’ve done several of these on waterfront homes in Florida; it’s not that difficult and the design/engineering is typical and standardized in most cases.
If you need further or additional help with this let me know.
