Invoicing FAQ for Architects
Should I bill by phase or hourly?+
Phase-based billing provides more predictability for the client, but keep track of hours for internal audits.
Do I bill for blueprints?+
Yes — printing and distribution costs should be passed through as reimbursable expenses.
What about site visits?+
Specify the number of site visits included in the fee; bill additional visits as a separate line item.
