40K-45K for architect for 2 story ADU in Los Angeles?!

[Chris Morris]

An architect told me that their architectural services for building a 1000 sq ft 2 story ADU in Los Angeles would be $40K-45K. Does that seem reasonable?

My lot is flat and 'unremarkable', btw. I am not looking for fancy architecture other than possibly having the second story cantilevered so the porch can have 5 feet of protruding coverage for shade.

As I stated in your other post (you should have just asked all these questions in one post, would have been easier), $40k for just architectural design on a 1000sf 2 story ADU without complexities should not even be half that much, find another architect and find another structural engineer. Both services should be $20k or less.
