http://www.hbkarchitects.comNot bad examples jackscout. The only way anyone could produce a building like that and charge low fees would be to re-produce this house type over and over. That is where a good architect will differ. A good architect will endevour to design a unique building that is site specific and driven by their clients needs and the generators of the area. (ie. orientation, views in/out of site, access to the site, local character and style of existing buildings etc)

Many Architects make their living only designing one-off house projects. A large proportion of CLASSIC examples of international building designs over the years have been one-off houses. Architects can apply their skills to the MICRO and MACRO design scales. Good Principles of Design are relevant to all scales of design.

That is a very interesting question and one that Architects are asked constantly. There is no doubt that a Technician will be, in the short term, more cost effective. So in paying larger fees to an Architect what will you get for your money?
A good Architect will be involved at an early planning stage, listening to what you want, and helping you create the perfect building for your needs. Working with you, developing ideas and suggesting new directions; helping you to realise your dream.
An Architect can guide you through the building and planning regulations and help you avoid costly mistakes. They can also co-ordinate engineers, builders and sub-contractors giving you one point of contact to save you time, and make sure things run smoothly.
A well designed building can save you money – a good architect will consider different materials and methods to reduce building and maintenance costs.
All Chartered Architects will have undergone 7 years of training at University enabling them to have tremendous skills at visualizing a whole project, homing in on the problems and offer dynamic solutions. Architects will have contacts with excellent builders and the finished work can add significant value to your property.
For the FEE an Architect will manage the project from start to finish, in most cases the TECHNICIAN will usually only offer a drawing only service. Most architects will expect the contractor to enter into a formal building contract giving you, the client rights and piece of mind that you are protected by the law.
45K does sound on the steap side, but then it is hard for me to comment because I dont have any idea as to the final construction cost of your design and of course and architect will usually charge based on a % of the final construction cost.
I hope this has been helpful, If you require any more information feel free to check out my website. We work all over Ireland.
