On commercial building work, what percentage of the architects fee does each consultant make in your area? Where I practice, the structural engineer typically makes 10% of the architects fee. So on your typical commercial building..say >10M...the SE will typically get .0045 to .006 of the construction cost or 10% of the architect's fee.

Does the mechanical, electrical, civil-site work engineer each get 10%?

What percentage of the architects fee does he/she retain? 60% of their 4.5 to 7% of construction cost???
Thanks.
 
Davis Brody Bond in NYC holds 1/3 of their fee for consultants which I think is typical. I'm not sure how much of that is for structure, but I think about 1/3 of the 1/3. Davis Brody's typical fee is probably closer to 12-15% of construction.
