According to standard practices, what is the compensation for an Architect for the first building type?

100% of the R.P.F.
75% of the R.P.F.
50% of the R.P.F.
30% of the R.P.F.

The correct answer is: 100% of the R.P.F.

The compensation for an Architect for the first building type is typically set at 100% of the established Rate of Payment Fee (R.P.F.). This standard reflects the comprehensive scope of work required during the initial stages of a project, where the architect is expected to produce extensive foundational work including planning, design development, and the establishment of project parameters. Charging this full percentage ensures that the architect is compensated for their expertise, time, and resources utilized to lay the groundwork for the building project. As projects progress, it's common for compensation structures to change depending on additional phases or specific client agreements, which is why the other options indicate reduced percentages. However, for the initial stage, 100% of the R.P.F. is recognized as the appropriate and standard compensation model.
