The going fee for an architect to do the entire design from scratch, according to your specs and to take best advantage of your lot, is 6 to 8% of the budgeted value of the house. I highly recommend you go this route, as you will probably be happier in the end.

If you come with an existing plan and just want to get a certified Panamanian architect to produce the required drawings, it should cost you somewhere between $1500 and $3000 depending on the complexity of the residence.
