Anti trust laws forbid architects to compare or discuss fees.
So the design fees are all over the spectrum. From patheticaly low to astronomical high.
99 % of the clients are walking around shopping for the cheapest architects.
Regardless of their skills, architecture services are reduced to commodity.
Clients have all the numbers and architects are in a fog, reducing or increasing fees on a whim without a clear understanding of profit and loss.

That is one reason architecture is not a profitable enterprise.
We don't know the real cost of doing business anymore.
The clients are holding all the cards.
