Computed Yes Yes

How? Adding all costs fo technical services Fixed sum over and above the
(manhours x rate) and then multiplying reimbursment for the Ar's technical
by a multiplier (covering overhead and time and overhead
profit)

Legend A= Architect's rate/hr

C= Consultant's rate/hr
T= Rate/hr of technical staff, researchers
and others involved in the project

AN, CN, TN = No. of hours spent by Ar

consultants and technical staff

Multiplier (M) 1.5-2.5 (depending on office set up and

complexity of project)

Reimbursable expenses transportation

(R)
housing and living allowances of foreign
consultants
per diem
housing and living allowances of local
consultants and technical staff (assigned
places over 100 km only from area of
operation)

Formula
Direct Cost = AN + CN + TN
Fee = Direct Cost x M
Total Cost of Service charged to the
client = Fee + R

= (Direct Cost x M) + R
Lump Sum (Fixed Fee) Per Diem/Honorarium

May be applied to government for work which will require his personal
projects (since they entail more paper time, such as:
work and time consuming efforts) (1) attending project related meetings,
conferences, trips
(2) conducting ocular inspection of
possible project sites
(3) conferring with others regarding
prospective investements or ventures
