Okay, so Chris Degroot has 27 years of experience as a Principal at a architecture firm in Iowa City, IA. His skills in sustainable design, construction management, and LEED are in demand. Location is Iowa City, which is a smaller market. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, architects in the Des Moines-Waterloo, IA-IL metropolitan area have median salaries around $80,000. However, considering his experience and skills, I'd estimate his hourly rate to be around 125 USD, which is slightly above the national average for architects. This rate is also consistent with the rate of other experienced architects in the region.
