Hi Guys,
Long time reader, first time writer!
I'm looking to build for the first time in Thailand this year and have found a architect in Chiang Mai that has done some great work that appeals to my taste.
In discussions with them they have stated that their fee is 5% of the build price, however they do not project manage the build - only provide the plans, engineering, submit applications and will provide some onsite checks.
My question is, from your experiences is this (charging a % of the build price) a normal practice in Thailand?
(apologies if this has been addressed in the forums already, I did some searching but couldn't find anything specific to this)
Cheers,
CMguy
