Architect fee

Don’t need an architect. Get a draftsman. $1 under beam but they might have a minimum charge and probably won’t call you back for such a small project. Curious, if you are just redoing a room in your house, download a drawing program and watch tutorial and sketch it yourself.

Draftsman still applies. It he can’t match the style of your house, find another one.

what is your minimum fee to do whatever it is you do on a one-off basis? If it’s less than 5K I’d be surprised

I used to draw plans as a draftsman. My first question is what all are you looking for in a "set of plans" and what does your local code enforcement office require to issue a building permit. For example one town may only require a dimensioned floor plan and elevations and another town may require you to have all that plus a mechanical plan, electrical plan, plumbing plan, foundation plan, etc. If it were me I'd approach it as $150/sheet with a $750/minimum or something similar.

^This is the correct response here. You'd be hard pressed to find an architect under $125/hr unless they're doing you a favor on the side.

If you have a high end house, you be better to hire an architect. But it you have a smaller middle class home like most, a draftsman would do.

What's the going rate for building in southern MS? In Baton Rouge, the going rate to build a custom home appears to be somewhere between $250 and $300 a square foot. This is Baton Rouge, not San Diego!
