How does invoicing/payment work for most Architect projects in San Francisco?
Every project differs, but you should ask any architect for an estimate, before they do any work. In fact, ask for their general payment terms before any architectural design work is done.
If the job is large and going to take longer than a day, it's common practice for architects to request a down payment. Usually, this will be around 25% so they can commence work on your architect project.
If it's a quick job, you'll likely be given an invoice/bill when the job is complete. Then it's up to you and the architect to determine if you pay immediately or can send payment at a later date.

In business without interruption - one project has always been under construction at all times, with flawless performance, zero complaints. I use a method of completing all data on the drawings then make no changes. Takes a little more time meeting with clients but I like it.
