Our Initial Discussion
 
Guy Herschell Architects provides a complimentary half hour to meet with you for an initial no obligation discussion. In which I will,

• Listen to your initial design aspirations and budget and discuss my design philosophy and  previous projects.

In addition I may,

• Provide you some initial feelings as to an approach, feasibility, project programming and current market conditions.

• Ask you to prepare a collage or scrapbook of pictures of buildings, materials, spaces and ideas that you like.

• Provide you with a disclosure package for you to take away containing guidance information, my hourly rate charges for architectural services, known disbursement costs, and some standard conditions of my service.

While I can give some initial idea of an apportionment of percentages of fee for project stages in the early stages of a project, it is unlikely that an actual fee will be confirmed until the project size and scope of services have been agreed, the relevant territorial authority and title requirements ascertained and council records reviewed. I will request your confirmation to proceed from our initial discussion to the Pre-Design, Information Gathering and Feasibility stages on an hourly rate / time charge basis.
