Which Architectural Services Do You Request? *

These are the services commonly provided by architects. The percentages listed are common design fee estimates as they relate to the percentage of construction costs. (Select all that apply).

(2%) As-Builts: When there is an existing building, all aspects of it must be measured, drawn, photographed, and filed. Existing drawings from the original construction make this process easier, if available. (This phase is required for all renovations and additions.)

(10%) Basic Services: Concept design to come up with the big idea that integrates client goals with construction budget, building codes, land use codes, etc. Coordination with engineers as needed and creation of drawings and documents for permit submittal. Coordination with the building department to obtain a permit.

(2%) Interior Cabinetry, Finishes, & Trim Design: Layout and specification of materials/products for built-ins, kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, etc.

(0.5%) Electrical Plan: Layout and specification of lighting, switches, outlets, speakers, etc.

(0.5%) Bidding: Solicit bids from builders, negotiate cost reduction, and counsel on contracts between the builder and owner.

(2%) ***Construction Administration: Weekly meeting with builder to review construction progress, quality, budget, schedule, code compliance, troubleshoot construction issues, and provide cost reduction strategies. Monthly review of construction invoices prior to payment to builder. ***(This service is required for all projects that commence construction.)

Do you have drawings of your existing building? *

If so, email them to josh@josharch.com. If they are hard copies, take a photo with your phone of the ENTIRE page for ALL pages, please. You can focus the photo by tapping on the screen of your phone, and outdoor lighting helps too.

Yes

No

Authorization of Professional Services *

Josh PS spends approximately 8 hours researching preliminary zoning and land use code requirements specific to an address of a project to facilitate a productive 1 hour initial consultation meeting or phone call. Josh PS charges the regular hourly rates at www.josharch.com/contract for compiling a limited feasibility study. The fee will be charged whether a meeting is held to review it or not (feasibility meetings more than 20 miles from downtown Seattle will also be billed for travel time/mileage at our ordinary hourly rate, and I understand I will be billed for additional time at the regular hourly rate if I do not stop the consultation after the 1 hour of allotted time). The information provided by this research allows preliminary feasibility analysis for topics such as required setbacks from property lines, maximum lot coverage, height limits, and estimates for construction and design fees (when the project site can be visited). The information provided is preliminary and will need verified by the building department, engineers, and/or builders. (Unfortunately Josh PS cannot provide these services free-of-charge since it is unfair to current clients who pay for these services and would therefor cause an increase to overhead expenses.)

I authorize Josh PS to spend approximately 8 hours researching preliminary zoning and land use code requirements specific to my project to facilitate a productive initial 1 hour consultation meeting or phone call. I agree to pay Josh PS the regular hourly rates at www.josharch.com/contract for compiling a feasibility. The fee will be charged whether a meeting is held to review it or not (feasibility meetings more than 20 miles from downtown Seattle will also be billed for travel time/mileage, and I understand I will be billed for additional time at the regular hourly rate if I do not stop the consultation after the 1 hour of allotted time.

I do not agree to be billed for professional consultation services and understand Josh cannot provide any specific feedback at this time.

Do you understand the next steps for your full feasibility? *

1. Fill out this form. 2. Josh Architects will begin the feasibility report pursuant to our general conditions at http://www.josharch.com/contract. 3. Josh Architects will reach out to schedule a meeting to review the report after about 2 weeks of working on it. 4. A meeting will be held at your property or via phone to review the report. (The feasibility service is now complete). 5. An invoice will be sent for the feasibility service. 6. Pay the invoice. 7. If you would like to continue with the design process after the feasibility phase, Josh Architects will send a contract for your signature. 8. Once the signed contract is received, Josh Architects will start designing your project and be in frequent contact to get your feedback as we develop further. 9. Josh Architects sends an invoice each month with hourly billing for the services that have been completed. (Design fees are generally around 10% of anticipated construction cost)

Yes, this makes sense

No, I don’t understand these steps
