1. Definition and scope:
Construction engineering design fee: Construction engineering design fee refers to the fees paid for the implementation of construction engineering design tasks, including architectural design, structural design, water supply and drainage design, electrical design, etc.
Design consulting fee: Design consulting fee refers to the fee paid for providing design consulting services, including professional consultation and guidance for evaluating, reviewing and optimizing design schemes.
2. Responsibilities and roles:
Construction project design fee: the construction project design fee is mainly used to hire design units or designers to complete the design work of construction projects. The design unit or designer will formulate detailed design scheme and construction drawings according to the engineering requirements, which will provide the basis for the subsequent construction.
Design consulting fee: the design consulting fee is mainly used to hire design consulting institutions or professionals to analyze, evaluate and guide the design scheme. Design consulting institutions or professionals do not directly carry out specific design work, but provide technical support and professional advice in the design process.
3. How and when to ask for help:
Construction project design fee: the construction project design fee can be negotiated with the design unit or designer when the project starts, and paid according to the contract.
Design consulting fee: Design consulting fee is usually paid through consultation with design consulting institutions or professionals when professional advice and technical support are needed in the design process.
It should be noted that the specific payment method and amount may vary according to the project, region and contract. In practice, the boundary between design fees and design consulting fees of construction projects may be vague, which should be determined according to the actual situation and contract agreement.
