I am pretty confident about my pricing for wood frame construction, but haven't done steel design for a while, and not in the US market.
A potential client wants to cover an existing 30x80 ft concrete slab on grade with a structure similar to a car port, with a height of 15 ft. The structure itself is simple, i.e. metal sheet roof, purlins, girders, columns, and pad footings.
Is there a guideline for design fees, like a $ amount per sqft, % of construction cost or something similar?

Is detailing typically included in the design fees or is this routinely done by the manufacturer (and contracted separately)

Thanks for your input

For small, specialize projects I would look at 2% of construction cost.
