Question 17

Multiple of Direct Personnel Expenses

The multiplier ranges from 1.5 to 2.5 depending on the office set-up, overhead and experience of the Architect and the complexity of the Project.

ex:
An Architect spent 300hrs. On a promotional services of a certain project and his hourly rate is Php500.
He used the 1.5 multiplier since he is just starting on his carrier.

Total Hour Spent= 300 hours
Rate Per Hour = Php 500
Multiplier = 1.5

Computation:
300 hours X 500Php = Php 150,000.00
150,000x 1.5 = Php225,000.00

Assume:
A = Architect’s rate / hour
C = Consultant’s rate / hour
T = Rate per hour of Technical Staff, Researchers and others involved in the Project
AN, CN, TN = No. of hours spent by Architect, Consultants and Technical Staff
M = Multiplier to account for overhead and reasonable profit. The value may range from 1.5 to 2.5 depending on the set-up of the Architect’s office and the complexity of the Project.
R = Reimbursable expenses such as transportation, housing and living allowance of Consultant, transportation, per diem, housing and living allowance of local consultants and technical staff if assigned to places over 100 km. from the area of operation of the Architect.

Direct cost = AN + CN + TN
Fee = Direct Cost x M
Total Cost of Service charged to Client = Fee + R
