What does it cost to work with an architect?


blank studio works under the standard AIA owner-architect agreement, which structures fees as either a percentage of construction cost or a fixed fee tied to project scope. That fee covers the full arc of work: design, documentation, and construction administration. What matters more than any percentage is what the site, the program, and the level of craft actually require. blank studio scopes fees project by project, once those specifics are understood.

How long does a project take?


Timelines depend on the project. A renovation moves differently than a ground-up custom residence, and permitting timelines vary by jurisdiction. Design and documentation typically take longer than clients expect, and that time is what protects the outcome once construction starts. blank studio can give a realistic schedule once the scope of a specific project is understood.
