Find some more contractors and tender it. Even if they have a preferred contractor they should always tender it to two or three contractors to test the market and make their contractor sharpen their pencil (tell the other contractors they're up against one more so they at least think they'll be in with a shot). Yes their are risks with going with another contractor if the architect has worked with them before, but you need to know what the market rate is. In my experience the residential market is cooling and contractors are starting to look for work so hopefully prices might get a bit more sensible.
