Dear Azdweller,
Thank you for accepting my findings as the official answer to your question.
I located two more bits of information that might interest you.

?As a general guide for a domestic project: we would be likely to
charge in the range of 12% for a loft conversion and 10% for a largish
new house.?

?In the case of a large project, which SCArchitect, Inc. typically
defines as having a construction cost of $500,000.00 or greater, a
percentage of the cost of construction fee is typically recommended.
This fee would include all standard architectural services; project
analysis, schematic design, design development, construction plans &
details, specifications and construction administration as well as
structural, electrical and mechanical engineering consultant costs.?
?We, at SCArchitect, Inc. treat each project as a unique project and
utilize the best fee structure that allows us to provide our clients
with the most professional service necessary to insure a successful
project. The most ?expensive? fee our clients will pay will be the
cost of construction change orders to correct design deficiencies.
Therefore, we utilize engineering consultants who have the most
qualified experience.
Every project will be designed and completed in several phases. Our
fees will be invoiced for services rendered based on the portion of
service completed for each phase on a monthly basis.
The following is our typical breakdown of the percentages of the fee
pertaining to the phase of the project completed. (These percentages
may vary from project to project):?
Project Phase Percent Charged
Schematic Design 15%
Design Development 20%
Working Drawings 35%
Agency Approvals 5%
Building & Contract Negotiations 5%
Construction Administration 20%

Design Fees & Construction Costs
As we have noted in our previous pages, many people at the start of
their project, do not have a firm grasp of all the issues and costs
associated with their residential project. Be it a new custom home or
remodel.
So we present a hypothetical project and it's associated costs. These
tend to be skewed towards market trends in the Bay Area and are
subject to change. We all know how fluid interest rates have been in
recent years, and the costs of loans and property taxes. We advise you
to use these only for what they are, a hypothetical situation and we
strongly urge you to use the services of a professional to assess
current market trends and costs.
In our last page we noted that architects' fees for professional
design services will range from 10 to 15 percent of construction costs
for a new custom house and 15 to 20% for an addition/remodel (remodels
are riskier and more complex).
To some clients, this seems excessive and are unable to comprehend the
added value they actually get with good design services. What we need
is a proper context of the true costs of design fees. So let's
consider a typical 25-30 year life cycle costs of a home (30 yr
mortgage/ loan). The actual cost of the building maybe 2-3 times the
initial outlay. Do note that these are representational numbers. You
should use current values that reflect the area you intend to build
in.
We will use the table below as an *example for a 2,000sf custom home:
Cost of Property/ Building site: $100,000
Construction cost: $700,000 (~2,000sf x $350-$450/sf)
Architect's 10% fee: $70,000
Broker, closing, title fees: $13,000
Landscaping and paving: $10,000
7.0% interest on $620,000 mortgage: $864,640 (30 years fixed)
Taxes at $6,000 per year: $180,000
Total: $1,937,640 over 30 years
