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).
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!

Architect fee
Does anyone know how much is architectural fee ($/sf) for a warehouse. Thanks!
I'll be rich, I tell you, rich!
$271 per square pound. Payable on Tuesday only.
Not my project!! Don't get too excited! :D
You give zero info, you got what what you brought.
usually we try to work for free, but $1.25 might work too
$0.30 per cubic yard of concrete used.
As much as the client is willing to pay and as little as the architect is willing to work for, give or take.
Correct answer.
Depends on the services you're requesting.

Call liberskind, he will charge one million per acute angle.
How much for an obtuse? Asking for a friend.
Not sure, but tell your friend there is a 2 for 1 Groupon for liberskind obtuse angles.
Obtuse angle? Or obtuse architect?
I prefer acute architect.
