FEES DESCRIPTION

Project 'cost based fees'

Where fees are calculated as a 'project cost based fee', the fees consist of a 'base fee' and a percentage of project cost, these derive from 'bracketed project values'

The Project Cost Based Fee Table (as published by SACAP) provide a guideline to assist in determining a specific project's fee depending on budget, brief and complexity.

Time charges

Where fees for architectural services are time charge fees, these are based on an hourly rate according to the rates published and shall be adjusted annually.

Project cost based fees for standard and partial services

For a partial service, assuming the fee is a 'project cost based fee' the percentage relevant to each work stage to be performed is agreed between client and professional.

Fees for additional services

Unless otherwise agreed, the fee for additional services is a time charge based on hourly rates as recommended in the current SACAP board notice: Whenever these rates are revised the new rates shall apply to work performed after the date of publication of such revision.
