Compensation for Fulltime
Supervision Services may be
based on one or more of the
following:

Percentage (%) of Project

Construction Cost (PCC)

The Architect’s Fee for Fulltime

Supervision as based on the
PPC shall be detailed in the
Architect’s Guidelines.

Multiple of Direct Personnel

Expenses

This cost-based method of

compensation is applicable
only to non-creative work such
as accounting, secretarial,
research, data gathering,
preparation of reports and the
like. This method of
compensation is based on
technical hours spent and
does not account for creative
work since the value of
creative design cannot be
measured by the length of
time the designer has spent on
his work. The computation is
made by adding all costs of
technical services (man hours
x rate) and then multiplying it
by a multiplier to cover
overhead and profit.

Other items such as cost of

transportation, living and
housing allowances of foreign
consultants, out-of-town living
and housing allowances of the
local consultants and the like,
are all to be charged to the
Client. At the start of the
commission, the Architect shall
make known to the Client the
rate of professionals and
personnel who will be assigned
to the Project and the
multiplier that has to be
applied before agreeing on
this method of compensation.
FORMULA
Assume:
A= Architect’s rate / hour
C= Consultant’s rate / hour

T= Rate per hour of

Technical Staff, Inspectors 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 100km. from
area of operation of the
Architect.

Cost of printing of extra set of

drawings, reports, maps,
contract documents, etc. over
the seven (7) copies submitted
to the Client, overseas and
long distance calls, technical
and laboratory tests, licenses,
fees, taxes and similar cost
items needed by the Project.
Direct cost = AN + CN + TN
Fee = Direct Cost x M
Total Cost of Service charged
to Client = Fee + R

Professional Fee Plus Expenses

This method of compensation

is frequently used where there
is continuing relationship
involving a series of projects. It
establishes a fixed sum over
and above the reimbursement
for the Architect’s technical
time and overhead. An
agreement on the general
scope of the work is necessary
in order to set an equitable
fee.

Lump Sum or Fixed Fee

This method may be applied

to government projects since
they entail more paper work
and time-consuming efforts.

Per Diem, Honorarium Plus

Reimbursable Expenses

In some cases a Client may

request an Architect to do
work which will require his
personal time such as:
● attending
project-related
meetings, conferences
or trips;
● conducting ocular
inspection of possible
 project sites; and
● conferring with others
regarding prospective
investments or ventures
and the like.

For these particular activities,

the Architect as agent of the
Owner may be paid on a per
diem and honorarium basis
plus out-of-pocket expenses
such as but not limited to
travel, accommodations and
subsistence.

Mixed Methods of
Compensation

The SPP provides for more than

one method of compensation
on a project. Each project
should be examined to
determine the most
appropriate method of
compensation.
