Structural Fee Percent of Total Fee
Structural Fee Percent of Total Fee
(OP)
Does anyone out there have any information regarding the industry average breakdown of structural fee (or hours) as a percent of a total A/E fee for a building project?
For example, on a building project, we've seen structural allocated approximately 17% of the total budgeted hours, which are shared by architectural, mechanical, electrical, civil, construction admin, etc.

If doing specialty work without Architect's involvement (i.e., industrial remediation, failure remediation, etc.) the fee can be anywhere from about 4 percent to 10 percent of construction cost, depending on need, size of project, and complexity. If contract admin. is thrown in, the fee goes up by about another 1 to 1.5 percent.
As with anything else, we sometimes have to work for less, rarely more!!

In Southern California architects fees run from 5+% for commercial to 15+% for residential alterations. From this the architect allocates compensation to structural engineering, plumbing engineering, HVAC engineering, electrical engineering, and the landscape architect. Also these fees can include public hearings and conferences with building officials. A LOT OF WORK TO BE DONE!
