I’m trying to budget for my home construction. What is a reasonable percentage to spend on the architectural design phase? I don't want to overspend, but I want a quality result.

The rule of thumb is that cheap design leads to expensive construction (due to errors and changes). Investing in a solid architectural bureau like https://en.architector.tech pays off because they give you a clear roadmap. The accurate BoQ (Bill of Quantities) alone saves you from contractors inflating prices later.
