How This Rate is Calculated

Okay, let’s tackle this. So Jacob Motanya has 16 years of experience as an architect, which is a significant amount of time. He has worked in various roles, including Principal Architect & CEO, Chairperson, and Board Chairman. His education includes a Bachelor of Architecture degree and an MBA. He is certified as a Professional Architect and a Member of the South African Institute of Architects, Green Building Council of South Africa, and RIBA. Considering his experience, education, and certifications, I would estimate his hourly rate to be around $120. This is lower than what I would expect for a senior architect with similar experience, but it’s still a competitive rate for someone with his background and skills in South Africa.
