Montenegro Architects retain architects, drafts people and designers who are experienced with the local market, its building codes and regulations.

Our fee base for professional architectural and design services is kept lower than most of Europe due to the use of local professionals whose pay structure is significantly lower than elsewhere in the EU.

Our fee structure is straightforward:

• The charge for architectural and design services is a flat fee based on the square meterage of the architectural and design work you require, currently charged at approximately €15 per sqm.
• Where plans are redrafted due to changes required by the client only those areas that are redrafted are chargeable. For example, if 20% of a 200sqm plan was changed it would add a further 40sqm to the total architectural fee base.
  
• Fees for landscaping is around €2.5 per sqm of land included in the project
• Fees for project management can vary depending on the complexity of the project or site, our standard rate is 2.5% of build and planning costs (we arrange planning approvals and inspections).
• Disbursements (copying, fax, phone, post, translation, etc.), usually €100 to €250.

We can provide design and planning services for all forms of projects, inclusive of materials specifications, contractual terms and management of appropriately qualified construction specialists.

Our process commences with a design brief of your requirements, from which we produce a concept plan and outline schedule. Once the concept is approved we will then draft detailed plans and specifications for planning approval. Once detailed plans are approved we will contract specialists according to the agreed schedule and budget.

Example project types:

• Site and property object surveys.
• Planning license approvals.
• Landscape designs, including pools and special features.
• Renovation plans for traditional old stone houses/buildings.
• Design of new apartment blocks.
• Design of classic colonial villas.
• Design of hotels and holiday resorts.
• Marina, pontoon and 'beach' designs.
• Commercial and industrial building design.
