What should I be paying for an architect to finish out an interior of a shell office building. The scope includes Test Fit, Pricing Plan, CDs, MEP CD's.
Is there a rule of thumb that should govern what the architect should be paid on a project like this? What would standard per sq foot price be fore CD's for standard office and medical office?

To my mind, it is not bad to work with this type of building. Even if you have no idea or time fo what to implement, will be the great way to resolve this problem. Surely, there are a lot of other methods, if you have more time and money.
