- 35.9% of clients indicated they would consider using a dedicated engineering service provided by an architectural firm
- 71% of clients preferred to engage an architect via referral from a trusted source.
- 3/4 respondents believe using the service of an architectural practice represents good value
- Over 61% of clients believed that a fixed price agreement was the preferred form of fee structure.
- 80% of clients agreed that architects assist them to realise design aspirations and create sustainability

To celebrate the launch of the report, you are invited to attend a panel discussion, highlighting key outtakes of this survey. Explore the key issues and opportunities to strengthen the client/architect relationship and through doing so, achieve better project outcomes for the Australian Community.
