— Fees
We cater each contract to its project. Depending on budget, project scale, timeline and client needs, we will structure our fees in one of three ways:
Fixed Fee
This works for new buildings, when it is quite clear what the scope of work will be throughout the job.
Percentage of Cost of Construction
The actual percentage will vary, depending on the type of project.
Hourly Basis
This structure is probably the fairest for smaller jobs, since the client ends up paying only for the time that is spent on the project, instead of paying for built-in contingencies that are naturally part of a fixed fee or percentage type of compensation.
