A fresh architectural graduate working as a trainee with established
architects, starts with a salary of Rs. 4000 - 7000 per month. With in
a short span of time,
the earnings can rise up to Rs.10,000- 20,000 per month depending upon
the experience and the work involved. In the government sectors,
the pay scale is not as lucrative as the private sector, since it is set
according to the rules by the government. The Council of Architecture
has laid down a standard scale of remuneration for services.
In this field, individuals practicing through their own firm could earn
a lot, and this could be from thousands to lakhs. Consultants charge anywhere
between 4 and 10 per cent of the total cost of construction in case of
apartments and multi storied buildings. They charge 15-20 per cent of
the total cost of construction in the case of independent houses and bungalows.
