What is the standard fee for the fourth and succeeding buildings?

The standard fee for the fourth and succeeding buildings is set at 30% of the Repeatable Project Fee (R.P.F.) as established by common architectural practice. This fee structure reflects a common percentage discount applied to additional projects, incentivizing clients to commission multiple buildings from the same architectural firm.

This approach recognizes the economies of scale that are often achievable in design and project management once a firm becomes familiar with a client's needs and the specificities involved in the project types. The 30% fee strikes a balance that rewards clients while ensuring that the architectural firm remains compensated for the continuous service and expertise provided throughout the additional projects.

It is crucial to understand that the fee structure not only aims at building a long-term relationship with clients but also primarily considers the reduced effort and time required once initial projects have been completed and lessons learned can be applied to new projects.
