The Dow was down again yesterday which seems to be a weekly occurrence. But despite the issues on Wall Street, the American Institute of Architects released its compensation survey at the beginning of November with promising results. According to the release, “… a nearly six percent annual increase in average compensation for architecture positions between 2005 and 2008, the strongest period of growth since AIA began collecting compensation information in 1990.” This sounds like positive news! Especially with all the negative news we hear about the housing market. Click here to view the complete report.

So, are the survey results realistic with what residential architects and designers are experiencing in the custom home industry? Has your compensation increased?
