A. Percentage Project CostExplanation
The percentage project cost method of compensation is the most common and fair method for both the client and the architect. This method involves the architect receiving a percentage of the total project cost as their fee. This ensures that the architect is appropriately compensated for their work, while also aligning their interests with the client's, as the architect's fee increases with the project cost. This method also provides transparency and allows for flexibility, as the architect's fee can be adjusted based on any changes or modifications to the project scope or budget.Rate this question:
