Architectural and Engineering Basic Services Fee Estimation Guidelines, Lecture notes of Engineering

The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)Engineering

Guidelines for estimating fees for architectural and engineering services based on the Amount Available for Construction (AAC) for various project types, ranging from less than average complexity to considerably more than average complexity. six project types: I-V, each with different levels of complexity for New Construction and Renovation. Additional Services not customary on every project are also listed.

Architectural and Engineering Basic Services Fee Estimating Guidelines
Basic Services is the design work customary on a typical project to take an established
building program, site, and budget, and then develop the architectural design, engineer
the building systems, produce construction documents, and perform construction
administration for a single phase project. Basic Services include the design services
customary on every project such as architectural, structural, civil, mechanical, and
electrical engineering services. Basic Services are described in the Standard Consulting
Agreement.
The following method estimates the Basic Services fees using the Amount Available for
Construction (AAC) from the established project budget. The fees are expressed as
percentage of AAC for six (6) projects types with differing levels of complexity for both
New Construction and Renovation. The Project Types are:
Project Type I – Considerably Less than Average Complexity: Farm Structures, shop
& Maintenance, Service, Warehouses, Storage Facilities, Parking Structures.
Project Type II – Less Than Average Complexity: Student Housing, Office Buildings,
Complex Parking Structures.
Project Type III – Average Complexity: Classroom Facilities, General Teaching
Spaces, Medical Offices, Clinics, Gymnasia.
Project Type IV – More Than Average Complexity: Complex University Buildings,
Engineering Laboratories, University Libraries, Dining Facilities, Theaters, Arenas,
Auditoriums, Medical Schools.
Project Type V – Considerably More than Average Complexity: Science and Medical
Research Buildings, Hospitals, Museums.
Project Type VI – Engineering Projects: Campus/Building Chilled Water, Steam, Fire
Protection, or Hot Water Systems; Campus/Building Electrical Distribution Systems;
Building Replacement Mechanical or Electrical Systems; Building or Campus Generator
Systems; Campus Fire Alarm or Security Systems; Outdoor Lighting or Sports Lighting;
Retrofit Building Fire Protection Systems; Campus Voice/Data Systems. Power & steam
generating capacity projects are not included. The fees for projects at Power Plants,
projects involving high voltage electrical distribution, projects involving steam
distribution over 15 psi or new major chiller plants shall be determined by current market
conditions.
To use the chart, find the row corresponding to the project’s AAC, then find the column
best describing the project type. The intersection of the row and column is the percentage
of the AAC that is a reasonable estimate of a Basic Services Fee for that project. Fees are
then stated as a Lump Sum Amount. When the project AAC is greater than $30,000,000,
contact UM Facilities Planning & Development.

Architectural and Engineering Basic Services Fee Estimating Guidelines

Basic Services is the design work customary on a typical project to take an established

building program, site, and budget, and then develop the architectural design, engineer

the building systems, produce construction documents, and perform construction

administration for a single phase project. Basic Services include the design services

customary on every project such as architectural, structural, civil, mechanical, and

electrical engineering services. Basic Services are described in the Standard Consulting

Agreement.

The following method estimates the Basic Services fees using the Amount Available for

Construction (AAC) from the established project budget. The fees are expressed as

percentage of AAC for six (6) projects types with differing levels of complexity for both

New Construction and Renovation. The Project Types are:

Project Type I – Considerably Less than Average Complexity : Farm Structures, shop

& Maintenance, Service, Warehouses, Storage Facilities, Parking Structures.

Project Type II – Less Than Average Complexity : Student Housing, Office Buildings,

Complex Parking Structures.

Project Type III – Average Complexity : Classroom Facilities, General Teaching

Spaces, Medical Offices, Clinics, Gymnasia.

Project Type IV – More Than Average Complexity : Complex University Buildings,

Engineering Laboratories, University Libraries, Dining Facilities, Theaters, Arenas,

Auditoriums, Medical Schools.

Project Type V – Considerably More than Average Complexity : Science and Medical

Research Buildings, Hospitals, Museums.

Project Type VI – Engineering Projects : Campus/Building Chilled Water, Steam, Fire

Protection, or Hot Water Systems; Campus/Building Electrical Distribution Systems;

Building Replacement Mechanical or Electrical Systems; Building or Campus Generator

Systems; Campus Fire Alarm or Security Systems; Outdoor Lighting or Sports Lighting;

Retrofit Building Fire Protection Systems; Campus Voice/Data Systems. Power & steam

generating capacity projects are not included. The fees for projects at Power Plants,

projects involving high voltage electrical distribution, projects involving steam

distribution over 15 psi or new major chiller plants shall be determined by current market

conditions.

To use the chart, find the row corresponding to the project’s AAC, then find the column

best describing the project type. The intersection of the row and column is the percentage

of the AAC that is a reasonable estimate of a Basic Services Fee for that project. Fees are

then stated as a Lump Sum Amount. When the project AAC is greater than $30,000,000,

contact UM Facilities Planning & Development.

The application of these tables is dependent on understanding the size and complexity of

the project. It is assumed the project scope of work and budget has been developed to a

level where this method can be used to produce an estimate of a reasonable and

customary fee.

Consultant Fees to prepare Design/Build proposal documents are estimated using the

Basic Services curves and then factored for the level of bridging documents required.

For example bridging through Design Development would be factored by 35%. Services

for proposal package preparation, responding to questions during the proposal phase,

proposal evaluation services, and construction administration support are then added as

not to exceed fees estimated based of the level of effort anticipated.

Not included in the Basic Services Fee are amounts to cover Additional Services or

approved Reimbursable Expenses. These costs should be added to the Total Project

Budget and should be estimated based on the projected scope of work.

Additional Services are those required to augment the Basic Services that are not

customary on every project. The need for Additional Services is dependent on the

individual project and will change from project to project. Some of these services will

not be identified until the project is underway. However, it is preferable for needed

additional services to be identified when requesting services for design.

Additional Services

Additional Services include, but are not limited to those listed below. It is desirable that

these be identified with the basic services fees and approved at the same time.

Pre-Design Phase

 Feasibility Studies/Analysis

 Assistance with Grant and Funding Applications

 Facility Programming

 Master Planning

 Soils Investigations/Reports/Geotechnical Services

 Surveys-Topographic/Boundary/Vegetation Improvements/Utilities

 Existing Facilities Analyses

 Measured Drawings of Existing Facilities

 Environmental Assessments

 Storm Water Management Permitting

 Environmental/Site Permitting

 Traffic Analyses

 Hazardous Materials Consultation/ Surveys
