As much as the client is willing to pay and as little as the architect is willing to work for, give or take.

Depends on the services you're requesting. 

Is your A/E providing all design services? Do you have multiple design contracts?  Do they have a subconsultant (10% markup)? Are you retaining them through all phases of the project? 

Depending on the project and how much of a PITA you are as a client, you should expect a fee somewhere between 4 and 12% of the construction cost.  It all comes down to what randomised said.  Now, if you have ridiculous ideas about what a building is going cost you, then you'll obviously have a skewed idea of what the A/E should cost. 

I can assure you that metal building supplier who is telling you that you can have a building for $55/sf is full of shit (I run into this constantly.  PEMB suppliers tell a client they can get a building for some ridiculous price.  Yes, you can have a building.  Lying on your site in pieces).

A serious answer for Ellen: there’s no answer.

An architect making a proposal might provide a fee based on budget, anticipated time involved x hourly rates, or just a per-hour fee. Seldom will it be a per-sf fee, except in some cases like straighforward tenant fit-outs of office space.

Thus the snark. Good luck!
