COMMON AND ALLOWED ARCHITECTURE FEES

Here you have some frequent asked questions about common and allowed architecture fees.

HOW CAN I GET AN ARCHITECT FEE? ARE THERE ANY FIXED FEES FOR ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES?

You can get a proposal from our architects cabinet after sending us the required information about your project. See the contact us section and e-mail us with your enquiry. The last question involves the European Union legislation. It is strictly prohibited to any country inside E.U to stipulate fees and apply them to all companies. The architectural services are therefore subject to the normal rules of the market and we at Utopia architects follow this directive. So if you want to get the best architectural fees just e-mail us and you will be surprised by how competitive we are.
