Fee modelling

Model the fee you signed, not the one software expects.

One project can carry a fixed fee for the design, hourly fees for variations and a retainer. Track progress against each fee on its own.

01Fee types and rules

Fixed, hourly and capped fees together.

Keep a retainer beside a fixed fee and hourly variations on one project, without flattening it.

01

Fixed, capped and retainer

Set a fixed fee, add an amount cap, or repeat the fee by period.

02

Hourly and hourly-capped

Price staff time from rates and enforce an hours cap when agreed.

03

Formula and milestone

Use formulas or quantity inputs, then weight planned milestone revenue by stage.

02Agreed caps

Keep each agreed cap visible.

Apply amount or hours caps to the relevant fee. When the commercial plan changes, add the fee and preserve the agreement in a named version.

01

Amount caps

Set an amount limit on the relevant fee.

02

Hours caps

Set an hours limit where the fee requires it.

03

Scope and fee change

Add fees and preserve agreed project versions or baselines.

03On-charged supplier costs

On-charge supplier costs at your markup.

Choose planned supplier or sub-consultant costs, then calculate the on-charged amount from markup or target margin.

01

Selected planned costs

Choose the supplier costs on-charged through this fee.

02

Markup

Calculate the billed amount by applying a markup to the selected cost.

03

Target margin

Calculate the billed amount required for the chosen target margin.

Keep the signed fee beside every change.

Add the fee for a variation to the project. Keep the revised plan alongside the original agreement in a saved project version or baseline.

One project, every fee type it carries.
