Challenges in Fair Compensation for Architects in Domestic and Corporate Firms in India.

Why do architects in India, both in unorganized domestic firms and organized corporate setups, often face low salary packages despite their creative and technical expertise? Is this due to systemic undervaluation of architectural services, intense competition driving down fees, or a focus on cost over quality by clients? How do differences between domestic and corporate firms impact compensation, and what steps can be taken to ensure better financial recognition for architects across the industry?

[a data analyst](username) Many clients, particularly in the residential sector, focus more on budget constraints than on hiring experienced architects who can add value through innovative design solutions. This can limit the earning potential for architects as they may be forced to accept lower-paying jobs to secure work.
