LUTTRELL ARCHITECTURE, LLC
TAMPA, FLORIDA

With a background in both construction management and architecture, Shaun offers a unique perspective to the building process. Keeping his finger on the pulse of building trends and technology, Shaun is a strong advocate for sustainable design and construction. Elegance is never overshadowed by environmental stewardship, at least not to the naked eye. Shaun takes great pride in moving towards an “ARCHITECT-BUILD” firm, not a design-build commodity. His focus on design, implementation, sustainability, and energy conservation allows Luttrell Architecture to create and manage buildings that will greatly outlast the typical Americanized building life-cycle. On a simple $50 per square foot “bare-bones” project, basic architectural design fees might range anywhere from $2.00 per square foot to $4.00 per square foot. As the complexity of the design, details, and finishes increases, the time required to complete the design increases along with the associated architectural fee. The above basic fee range also assumes that a CAD file of the existing floor plan and existing handicapped accessibility drawings for the building are provided by the landlord to the architect. If additional engineering consultants (mechanical, electrical, plumbing, structural, etc.) are required, the total fees for a small tenant improvement project might be as high as $8 per square foot if some of these extra services are provided. For further information, please see the following If your architect has provided a fee substantially less than these figures, you should be wary. Licensed Architects (and Engineers) hold professional liability insurance and operate a professional business. They have obtained a minimum of a Bachelor’s Degree and most states now require a Master’s Degree from an accredited university in order to qualify for licensure. They participate in countless hours of continuing education to maintain their credentials and ensure the Health, Safety, and Welfare of the general public. This requires that they are compensated appropriately. If an architect has presented fees that are substantially less than the figures shown above, you should expect an inferior level of service than that of other professionally educated architects and engineers. Keep in mind that real estate agents charge a 6% of purchase price fee for their services, while architects may charge 10% of construction costs, which usually amounts to less compensation than a Realtor. Meanwhile, the architect has spent countless weeks/months/years dedicated to each project and is professional liable for the end product… Featuring endless sunsets from the rooftop terrace, this 6 bedroom home is just one of many we are currently designing. If coastal elegance is your idea of the good life, you should have it. Carpe diem.
