How to Calculate Labor Budget (Step by Step) | ARE 5.0 PcM18 sept. 202500:06:52

Send us Fan Mail

In this episode, we dive into a classic ARE 5.0 Practice Management (PcM) practice question on top-down budgeting. Using a real-world style scenario, we break down step by step how to calculate a project’s labor budget from construction costs, gross fee, consultant fees, and contingency.

You’ll learn:

  • How to calculate gross fee as a percentage of construction cost
  • Why consultant fees are taken from the gross fee (not the construction cost)
  • How contingency and direct expenses factor into the calculation
  • How to arrive at the final labor budget available for staffing and project phases
  • Where to find the formula in the Architect’s Handbook of Professional Practice (AHPP Table 10.4)

This breakdown is critical for the ARE 5.0 PcM exam, but it’s also directly applicable in real-world firm management when setting fees and allocating resources.

Architect Fee Methods: Top-Down, Bottom-Up, Fixed, and Not-to-Exceed for ARE 5 | PcM11 sept. 202500:07:19

Send us Fan Mail

In this Coaching Highlight from our Mind Over ARE sessions (inside ABC Club Premium), we tackle a classic ARE 5.0 Practice Management (PcM) question:

👉 How do architects calculate fees — and what’s the difference between top-down budgeting, bottom-up budgeting, not-to-exceed hourly, and fixed fee?

These terms show up all the time in both the exam and real practice. In this episode, we break down:

  • Top-Down Budgeting – starting with a gross fee and distributing it across phases
  • Bottom-Up Budgeting – calculating actual staffing hours × hourly rates
  • Not-to-Exceed Hourly – billing by the hour with a contractual cap
  • Fixed Fee (Lump Sum) – set fee tied to a clearly defined scope

We also discuss how firms blend these methods in practice, and why understanding them is critical for passing PcM and for long-term success in managing projects and communicating value to clients.

This is just a small preview of what you’ll find in our Mind Over ARE coaching calls — live study sessions, replays, and searchable Coaching Highlights, all available inside ABC Club Premium.

Utilization Ratio: Your Key to Firm Finances and the ARE 5 | PcM04 sept. 202500:05:40

Send us Fan Mail

In this Coaching Highlight from our Mind Over ARE sessions (inside ABC Club Premium), we unpack a core financial concept that shows up on the ARE 5.0 Practice Management (PcM) exam and in everyday firm life: the utilization ratio.

So what is it really measuring? Why does NCARB care about it? And how does it shape the way firms allocate time, staff, and resources?

In this episode, we’ll cover:

  • What utilization ratio actually means in an architecture firm
  • Common misconceptions about what “billable time” really includes
  • How NCARB frames this concept on the ARE 5.0 exam
  • The difference between a principal’s utilization ratio vs. a project architect’s
  • Why this metric matters for profitability, staffing, and your own career path

You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of the financial heartbeat of an architecture firm, plus a clear framework for how to approach utilization ratio questions on the exam.

This is just one example of the practical insights you’ll find inside ABC Club Premium, where you’ll get access to live coaching calls, replays, and a full searchable library of Coaching Highlights like this one.

Cardi B's Dream Home: Choosing the Best Fee Method | ARE 5.0 CE Practice Question30 août 202500:08:01

Send us Fan Mail

In this episode, we tackle a famous ARE 5.0 Construction & Evaluation (CE) practice question that also connects to PjM and PDD. The scenario? A high-profile client (yes, Cardi B!) who cares most about schedule and design quality — with no concern about cost. Which fee structure is the right fit: GMP, stipulated sum, cost-plus-fixed-fee, or negotiated sum?

Head Coach Shikha breaks down the nuances of:

  • Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) – when cost certainty drives the contract
  • Stipulated Sum – fixed fee based on a clearly defined scope
  • Negotiated Sum – comparing contractor bids through negotiation
  • Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee – how it balances risk, flexibility, and incentives for faster delivery

You’ll also hear how NCARB tests this concept across multiple divisions and why mastering the Architect’s Handbook charts on project delivery methods, cost, and risk is key for exam success.

Whether you’re preparing for the ARE 5.0 CE exam or want to better understand how different fee structures impact real projects, this deep dive gives you the clarity and practical examples you need.

The #1 Mistake Aspiring Architects Make with The Healthy Architect21 janv. 202500:33:27

Send us Fan Mail

*Are you burning out on the path to becoming an architect? You're not alone. In this episode, I sit down with Morgan Chawaga, AKA The Healthy Architect, to uncover the biggest mistakes aspiring architects make when it comes to their health, happiness, and career success.

Morgan shares her personal journey from burnout to balance and offers actionable strategies to help you:

  • Break free from the grind culture of architecture
  • Balance work, life, and the licensure process
  • Embrace failure as a tool for growth

We’ll also explore how the architecture industry is evolving—and why unhealthy firms may soon become a thing of the past.

Don’t wait to prioritize your health and happiness—watch now and take the first step toward building a better career.*
