Dear Paul,
I want to know about how to get design fee cost breakdown.In that, what percentage of the fee goes to the architect, to structural engineer, to sanitary engineer, to electrical engineer , to quantity and tender. Is there any world or country standard that governs the breakdown?

Answer
Hi Addis:
I can give you an example from the experience I have over the past few years doing mostly public school projects. Each project is different. But at the beginning, for planning purposes, we usually chart out something like this:
Landscape/Civil/Site design Consultants: 10% of total fee.
Structural Engineer: 4 - 8% of total fee
M/E/P/FP Engineers: 25 - 30% of total fee
Food Service Planner: 2%
Technology Engineer: 3%
Cost Estimator: 2%
Other/ misc. consultants: 0 - 5%
Leaves about 45 - 50% of the fee for the architectural design and overall responsibility for the team.
I hope that is helpful for what you need.
Thanks,
PB
