The calculation of fees based on a percentage of project cost is the standard basis for determining professional fees and represents the accepted basis by the Built Environment Professions for remuneration of professional services. Such fees are referred to as project cost-based fees.

 

An alternative to project cost-based fees can be negotiated; for example, time-based fees or cost-per-building area fees.
