Architectural Fee Proposal 8-Storey
Budget: $10 – $40 AUD
I already have the concept strategy and massing locked in for an eight-storey residential development at 14 Wellington Street, Mackay, and I now need an architect to carry that fixed scheme through documentation and the Development Application. No alternative design exploration is required; the brief is purely about translating what is agreed into clear, approval-ready documents and supporting the DA process.
Scope of service
Stage A – Concept Confirmation
• Convert the supplied concept package into dimensioned plans and massing diagrams
• Produce a typical residential floorplate for Levels 3-7 (8 units per floor)
• Set out the two Level 8 penthouse layouts (3-bed each)
Stage B – Development Application
• Prepare DA-ready plans, sections and elevations consistent with the confirmed concept
• Coordinate with the planning consultant during DA lodgement
• Draft design-related responses to any Council RFIs that arise
Key built parameters (all non-negotiable)
• Total height: 8 storeys with a 3-storey podium
• Ground level: single commercial tenancy
• Levels 1-2: on-grade parking only, no basement
• Levels 3-7: residential, eight units per level
• Level 8: two three-bedroom penthouses
What I need from you
1. An itemised fee schedule, clearly split between Stage A and Stage B
2. A list of assumptions and exclusions so there is no ambiguity
3. An indicative programme showing major milestones through to DA lodgement
4. Confirmation of the file formats you will deliver (PDF plus native CAD/BIM)
I am flexible on software—AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp or similar—provided the chosen platform suits efficient coordination and future construction documentation.
Please keep the proposal concise yet complete; I will review submissions as they arrive and aim to appoint quickly so Stage A can commence without delay.
