Regards,
I couldn't find anywhere on the web an article that helps breakdown MEP design fees into mechanical design fee, electrical and plumbing.
I have a partner and we sometimes disagree on what the electrical fee should be when compared to mechanical and plumbing.
A typical electrical design includes:
- lighting
- power
- telecommunication
- fire alarm device layout, but not full fire alarm system design and calculations.
- Schedules and calculations
- riser diagrams
Mechanical and plumbing does not include fire protection system design and calculations.
Most of our projects are restaurants, coffee shops, dunkin donut, office spaces, warehouses, residential, etc.
I would really appreciate your input as I have good number of years of design experience, but not much when it comes to estimating design fees.
Thanks for your help.
