Fees to design 2 x double storey dwellings are $5700. These are fees ONLY for planning permit stage which include planning meetings with Council if required. Additional fees during this stage include planning report ($800), council fees & advertising and landscaping ($600-$700).
Just want to see if this is about standard.

If they bare good, then its a great price, but I find it hard to see how anyone who was any good would price so inexpensively.
Interesting. What would you be expecting to pay for this sort of development.
This architect came recommended to me. She has lots of experience with townhouse developments and has been very informative with my questions and design so far.
Hi
I am paying about $8k in Brisbane for the same thing – two x 3 bedder townhouses.
My guy works from home. He has done heaps of t'houses apparently and used to work for one of the big firms in town.
He came recommended to me. He seems to know his stuff. He has told that he couldn't charge me more as he would feel like he is ripping me off.
I think some places may charge $15k for the same thing. But maybe they are making really good money on that I am not sure.

If she is good she should be charging more as this is well under market. One of my businesses is consultant town planning, and we charge $4K. We don't design, but this usually costs considerably more than what we charge.
Could it be this price because she works from home and doesn’t have the overheads associated with offices, etc?
Some architects do charge really low. I know someone who charges about $6k for a 2 x double storey town houses town planning which include the planning report. It is a relatively new company but their service is really good. I'm about to engage them to do my sub-division in Burwood East.
Do you have any recommended planners/architects who take on the project from initial design to building permit stage?
