Business Proposal

 

In order to Calculate the cost and Price for Architectural honoraries we are about to use the public legal rates as a parameter, this means we are treating you with the lowest rate available for your project in order to continue working with you as partners.

 

For all the Architectural development normally the law in the Dominican Republic trough the CODIA which is the department that rules all Engineering and architectural activities says to charge a 7% of the total cost of the project, in these case to help you start we propose to charge you a 3.5% for the architectural blueprints only.

 

To determine the cost for the architectural design we use the estimate square meter from the necessities preliminary analysis and the market construction square meter cost for these type of projects, and the honoraries are as Follows.

 

The attached preliminary analysis give us an estimate of all the needs for a project like yours, we are not including the roads and their drainage works, or any other architectural design cost, or project management or execution fees.

 

We understand your minimum construction development is going to be around the 5,000.00 Sqm. and with our experience in Loma Prieta and the market reference we understand the minimum cost per square meter is around US. $ 600.00 to US. $ 700.00 American dollars per Sqm.

 

With this information we conclude that our architectural honoraries are going to be around US. $113,750.00 American Dollars and we propose a payment facility to help you cover our cost to be paid in the following monthly payment method.
