Pipe Rack Design Fee

Pipe Rack Design Fee

Pipe Rack Design Fee

(OP)
Are there any of rules of thumb for the design fee of a pipe rack? I have a fee created and just want to know if I'm in the ballpark. It's been a while since we have done one so I'm little rusty.

RE: Pipe Rack Design Fee

Do you include or exclude Geotech? Permits?

RE: Pipe Rack Design Fee

(OP)
Structural design only. All other disciplines have their own contracts and the client or their representative will take care of any permits.

RE: Pipe Rack Design Fee

How ever long you think it wall take and then double it

RE: Pipe Rack Design Fee

XR250 has the same fee structure I do. :P

(I'm always underestimating the time required...)

Thanks for the input. I'm just trying to make sure they don't get an "oh crap" look on their face when they see the fee!
