This week we will be talking about Fee Management, this a relatively extensive subject so I will breaking the episode into two parts. Today is Part 1 where I will be talking about what the fee means for the practice, how to calculate the fee and basing the fees on the RIBA Work stages. Next week, Part 2 will be covering how to negotiate the fee, getting paid, what to do in the event of non payment and working at risk - This episode content meets  PC2 - Clients, Users and Delivery of Services and PC4 Practice and Management of the Part 3 Criteria.

Here's the example I ran through in the episode:

Say your construction cost is £1m and there are 20 identical units that cost £40,000 each. 

The basic fee is 6% of the cost of construction of which 15% is for Stage 4 lets say and 20% is for Stage 5 and it has been decided to rebate 75% of the fee for the identical units.

The calculation would be (20-1) x 40,000 / 1m x (6% x 1m x 35% x 75%) = 760,000 / 1m (60,000 x 35% x 75%) = 0.76 x 15,750 = £11, 970
