One of the fundamental parts of calculating a design fee as a percentage of construction cost is characterizing the complexity of the project. There is a different fee table for each level of difficulty. The terminology may vary, but the solution is to place each type of building into the Group representing its level of complexity / difficulty. Traditionally there were five Building Groups. Here is what those Groups look like. Building GroupsBuilding Groups decrease in complexity as you step through the levels, usually. Sometimes the complexity increases. Let's start with the highest complexity in Building Group I. The following are common groupings of building types. GROUP I
GROUP II
GROUP III
GROUP IV
GROUP V
Of course, lists like this can't list every building type, so you will often need to categorize your project based on "a similarity to" rather than "a match to" what you see listed here. If you would like articles delivered to you by email, Sign Up here.
