Phase 1: Program & Design

This phase is a very difficult one to assess due to the very personal likes and dislikes of each individual. The original consultation will have brought up some spatial and cosmetic requirements. We then implement those ideas to a functional, cosmetically appealing and cost efficient design.  A series of meetings, telephone and email conversations will incur while we tidy-up the design.  In some cases the design is approved very quickly, in other cases it may take a few attempts before achieving the perfect design for you. Pricing for this phase would be discussed in person and based on an hourly rate package.

Phase 2: Construction Documents:

The working drawings are $2.00 per square foot + Hst.  This fee is directly related to the complexity of the project and the amount of detail required to efficiently construct the building.  It includes the coordination with other consultants such as Structural, Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Septic, etc.  If requested, we can procure quotes from the specific consultants and hire them.  In return, the specific consultants would invoice Custom CADD and we would in return add the invoice amount to our disbursements.  Copies of the said invoices would be provided for your records.

Phase 3: Submissions:

This portion is completely optional.  In many cases, a client might want us to organize and make all the different authority submissions, for example, environmental authorities, minor variances, municipal permit submissions, etc.  This stage would be invoiced monthly based on an hourly rate plus kilometres.  Other expenses such as application and permit fees would be itemized and added as disbursements.

Phase 4: Site Visits:

This portion is also optional.  A client might want us to consult and inspect the construction at different stages to minimize errors in interpretation.   This stage would be invoiced monthly based on an hourly rate plus kilometres.  A minimum of 3hrs is to be billed for each site visit.

Other:

Additional charges due to revisions made after completion, site visits, additional prints, etc. will be invoiced based on time and expenses. Expenses will be itemised and copies of the receipts will be provided.
