FIXED FEE

A lump sum is agreed where the scope of service and project complexity is adequately defined.

GROSS FLOOR PLAN AREA RATE

A fee value is applied per square metre or square foot of new and / or altered building design / work.

GROSS VOLUME RATE

A fee value is applied per cubic metre or cubic foot of new and / or altered building design / work.
