What type of fee is applied when a client requests personal time from an Architect?

When a client requests personal time from an Architect, it is typically compensated with a fee structure that incorporates both a per diem and additional reimbursable expenses. This method recognizes the unique nature of direct client interactions, where the Architect's time is valued not just monetarily but also through additional costs incurred during the engagement.

The per diem aspect accounts for the daily rate charged for the Architect’s time, which compensates for their expertise and availability beyond standard project work. The honorarium component acknowledges the professional value of the Architect's insights or consultations, especially in unique or specialized scenarios. Reimbursable expenses cover any direct costs incurred while fulfilling the client's request, ensuring that the Architect is compensated fairly for all aspects of the engagement.

This comprehensive approach to charging for personal time reflects the recognition of the professional's skills and the potential out-of-pocket costs involved in delivering personal services. Thus, it adequately addresses the multifaceted nature of the Architect's engagement with the client in those instances.
