How much does an Architect cost for designing a simple nail salon?

Hello, I would like to build a nail and hair salon in a 1860sq feet space in a city of 200k. My budget is $30,000 on construction. I want it to be simple but elegant.





My question is how much does an architect cost?

Since this will be a commercial establishment, the City will most likely require a professional seal either by the architect, mechanical, plumbing and/or electrical engineer. It all depends on the type of work required within that space. For a rule of thumb, most architects will charge somewhere in the $1.50+/sf range for a TI (Tenant Improvement) project, but that will mostly cover services and documentation required to get City permit. Anything beyond that scope will be likely be charged as additional services on a hourly basis.How much does an Architect cost for designing a simple nail salon?
You do not need an architect for this. Check around with builders for pre existing plans. BTW $30,000 for 1860 sq ft? You must be planning to build this yourself.
With that budget an Architect is out of the question.
