Hourly Fees for Engineers Managing LL 11 Facade WorkJun 15, 2010


We've obtained a proposal for managing our LL 11 facade work (a project which will be in the mid-6-figures).

The rates proposed are $305/hour for the engineers and $235/hour for staff members.

Does anybody know how these rates compare with other engineering firms'?

Also, they want to reserve the right to increase their rates (over and above the $10/hour that will kick in on Jan. 1 of any year. Is this a usual and customary provision?

Also, the engineers want the right to veto arbitration in the event of a dispute between them and us. Is this common? Desirable?

My engineers charge about 250/195 and typically would provide a flate rate quote on the report and only the construction project would incur the hourly rate.
