(for Construction)
Used with A201, General Conditions
Used with A101–2017, Exhibit A, Insurance and Bonds
These are typically used for large projects with a fixed payment amount. These include three basic categories of information: schedule, cost, and the scope of the work. While this is a contract between the owner and the contractor, the Architect or Interior Designer is listed because their drawings are part of the contract

Q

A151

A

Standard Form of Agreement between Owner and Vendor for Furniture, Furnishings, and Equipment

35
Q

Commonly used in residential design. The client pays a specific markup on the actual cost of the merchandise and other items that the designer sells to the client.

A

Cost-plus percentage markup

36
Q

Cost-plus fixed fee

A

Commonly used in commercial design by contractors. The client pays the actual cost of the work plus an amount for the overhead and profit. This includes all trade subcontractor work, labor, materials, and equipment.

37
Q

Square foot pricing

A

common in commercial projects. The fee is determined by a rate per square foot multiplied by the amount of square footage of the project.

38
Q

Percentage of actual construction/merchandise cost

A

Based on a negotiated percentage of the construction cost or the cost of goods and installation for the project.

39
Q

Value-oriented method

A

The design firm prices services based on the value or quality of the services instead of focusing on the cost of providing those services. This fee method works for design firms whose services have prestige value in the marketplace.

40
Q

Out-of-pocket reimbursable expenses

A

These are expenses that are not part of the services billing. But these are made to complete the project and are typically billed to the client with a service charge. Reimbursable and non-reimbursable direct costs are considerations in all fee options. It’s possible to combine several compensation options into a singular agreement. Each would tie to a specific scope of services provided. Compensation options with consultants are separate and different from the prime agreement.

41
Q

Billing Rate

A

employee paid+fringe benefits+overhead+allowance for profit

travel cost - reimbursable
