Design costs/fees
Architectural designers generally charge around the same as architects. The respective fees will depend on the scope of the project and services required.
You should expect to pay less for an architectural draughtsperson, as they typically offer a narrower range of services.

Thank you for trusting my suggestion.I highly appreciate it.
Best regards
Ask for a detailed breakdown of the costs for each stage of the design process, from the initial design work through to the contract administration fee. This should roughly break down to: 15 percent for initial sketches. 15 percent for developed design.

: Is it definitely 'design' as we don't know the context for the electrification, could it be 'study' or 'project' fees?

Development is a very vague term whereas design is quiet specific and relates to any study or suvey.
