I got an idea from a fellow guildmate on Bria server today.
Why not dedicate a certain percentage of the building maintenance to the original architect of the building? I know many of us architects (i'm a Master Architect) don't make a lot of credits no matter what we do. It'd be nice to have a certain percentage of the maintenance, like 5% or 20% just go to our bank accounts. Don't increase the building maintenance, just take like if its 50 credits per hour, give the architects 5-10 credits an hour out of that 50. We wouldn't make a huge amount, but it'd be a steady flow of credits, and could get the poorer architects going more faster.
We could earn like from 120 credits per day to 240 credits per day off of just one building. (if it's maintenance is 50 cph)
Personally, I'd like to see a crafting patch, which adds more furniture that can be crafted under Master Architect, and more from schems. Along with the ability to customize a house, placing walls, painting the rooms (for house owners only), carpeting, additional lighting (such as more ceiling lights), etc...
It'd make crafting more fun for us too. I personally want to be a real architect in 10 years. (I havealmost that long till I graduate HS and college, get an intership and work my way up the ladder) And I like designing homes and would really think it'd be cool if we could craft homes based on a mini-CAD program (not too large or complex though, just a grid system that has a preset landsize, preset height limit, etc...). The more walls, etc... we add, the more resources it costs.

Cool idea, but instead of having in built into crafting (which is one time, and then out of your hands) make it built into KITS, like ShipWrights or DEs have it. It would also give you something to do aswell as keep steady credits in your pocket because I'll have you come paint my house every time the customization faded.

is so wrong I wouldn't know where to start. You & Your friend didn't think this one through at all. You in no way deserve any compensation afterthe sale, That would be like a weaponsmith saying that he was 10% of your kills / experience / loot because you used his weapon to kill the thing. Also the Smuggler, Doctor, Armoursmith etc... Who are going to want their CUT of this crazy pie where people get others credits just "because". In-Game Money Sinks are there for a reason, Else we'd all have 100+ million. And if you can't make credits as an Arc you're doing something wrong.

As much as I like making money from Architect, I'd have to disagree with this too. The people who built my house in R/L aren't making any money off of me now.

I have to agree with OldManDog on this one. Why should you continue to make money on something after the sale. Good example Old on the weaponsmith, even armor too.

Not to mention what happens if the original architect has been remade or even if that player has just canceled their subscription?
