“A Guide to Determining Appropriate Fees for the Services of an Architect” was developed by the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC) as a resource to help guide a fair exchange of value in establishing appropriate fees and scope of architectural services. The 2019 edition is now publicly free to all as a PDF on the RAIC website as of January 4, 2022 and can still be purchased as a printed booklet.

The OAA supports this guide as a means to facilitate the determination of appropriate fees for a project. The recommendations in this publication are applicable to building projects of any size, climatic condition, construction type, and occupancy in Canada.
