Mavericks combines structural and architectural design. We thrive in complex building design, permitting and variance process. We like a challenge and it really shows in how we tackle complex projects. We have a good mix of incredibly talented and experienced architectural technicians and building designers that hold professional building experience. This means that their designs take into consideration the construction feasibility. This saves headaches during construction.
Mavericks is your best choice for architectural design if you are looking for a unique and intricate design. Having a structural engineer involved in every steps of the creation is of incredible value in complex design.
Our rate is ($110/hr) for renovation projects. The range of renovation design project varies from 20 - 40 hours for simple home additions and up from there based on complexity.
For new built, price per square footage is usually selected depending on complexity of design and permitting process. Engineering fee is added to the design cost. Where design renderings are required to guide the decision making process for the client, considering amount of time can be spent in the preliminary design phase. A new built design will be estimated on a square footage basis and will be priced based on complex, average or simple design.
This architectural design service produces a permit ready set of architectural drawings and will be adapted to specific municipality requirements.
Costs along with quality of services are usually the main deciding factors in the selection of an engineering firm. We like to be upfront with our costs and understand some of you are simply looking for a price range to budget for your project. Costs are project specific and are determined in advance based on an hourly estimate of the work for renovations. New residential build are priced hourly, by square footage or by percentage base cost depending on the project and our level of involvement. For commercial work, base cost percentage fee might be used when it makes the most sense. This means that complexity and travel distance play a role in our prices. Dollar figures below are meant to be a rough estimate and are intended to be used as a guide for budgeting purposes:
-Site consultation ($450) + optional consultation report charged hourly
-Detailed structural engineering design ($165/hr). Design of your average new built would be between 8 to 12 hours. Complex renovations sometime take more time due to the extra effort that needs to go into accommodating existing conditions and finishes.
-Structural drafting ($110/hr). This varies on the project complexity and the amount of detailing we need to provide to accurately communicate the design intent. Typical new built will range around 20hrs. On some simple projects, structural markups can be provided when the scope is limited. From experience, this usually results in more involvement during the construction phase which shifts the planning costs to execution costs.
-Field review ($375). For the Victoria area, we charge $375 for field reviews. This is required by municipalities on most projects. This serves to confirm construction meets design intent. Typically 2 are required. One to review rebar placement and one to review framing before structural elements are covered. Amount of field review is heavily dependent on contractor phasing and execution.
-Construction phase ($145/hrs). Communication and coordination during construction is typically charged hourly and tracked at the 15min increment. This is heavily dependent on your builder's experience and unforeseen site condition during construction. Average project construction phase typically range from 1 to 3 hours.
