How are fees determined?

Architects in BC are licensed to practice Architecture by the Architectural Institute of British Columbia (AIBC).

The AIBC Tariff of Fees recommends a minimum range of fees that are appropriate in order to perform a described scope of work.

"Published fee levels are based on historical evidence and current research as to fair value and what is typically necessary to support proper professional service in the public interest." AIBC Tariff of Fees
