USA is usually 4% of total cost less land.
Can we get DR examples please...
What does a DR based architect charge in % terms if they supervise a remodeling job that they have drawn up the plans for? I'm not talking about drawing plans, I'm talking about supervising the job so it's built to their plans and standard.
I have heard up to 20%, is this normal?

Let me try and clarify this a bit more.
We have had an architect draw up some plans for an office remodeling.
He specializes in offices, custom high end stuff etc etc.
His work has a high quality level, very modern and an attention to detail in areas of lighting and storage I have never seen in this country and I have seen lots of office spaces. I have seen another office he designed and supervised the work for, I was impressed.
Obviously he has the contacts and people to work to this high level, so I'm a little hesitant to use someone else for the project supervision. But, that doesn't mean I can't negotiate with him
His fee for supervising the project is 20% of the total cost of construction, this is additional to the cost of the plans, perspectives etc.
Is this normal or are we paying a heavy premium for his expertise?

That's it.... I'm packing up my Autocad and am on my way !!!
This is not for the design or plans(autocad). This is a man to "supervise" construction ie: translation of plans to finished project. Would include sources of supply for materials needed,the installation of such, overseeing the quality of work done, adherence to a time line, aherence to building code (if a code exists) etc.
In essence he is working for you to insure that which is on paper gets done exactly as planned.
I think?
