An architect charges a standard percentage fee. To make the math easier, let's start at 10 percent. So if the cost to build a 2,500-square-foot house is $500,000, the architect's fee would be $50,000. If you double the cost to $1 million because you are building a 5,000-square-foot house with more design features, the percentage fee charged by most architects would go down to about 8 percent, or $80,000.
