Architects: Ready to start mastering fees and better understand what they mean for your bottom line? We’re excited to be joined by Douglas Teiger, FAIA, founder of Teiger Consulting, for an insightful new webinar that will demystify the process and help you (and your firm) become more profitable.
As a bonus, architects can receive 1 AIA Continuing Education Credit for this event, courtesy of BQE! Hit the button below to sign up for the talk, which will take place at 1pm EST on Wednesday, February 8th:
In this free live session, you will learn how to define your project scope, develop a Rough Order of Magnitude of construction cost, and estimate your project hours. We’ll finish off with how fees are broken down and explore a simple system to improve your overall project profitability.
By the end of the session, you will learn how to:
- Identify the correlation between project scope, estimated cost of project, and fee.
- Develop a Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) of construction cost in a simple way.
- Create a top-down approach to fee estimation based on a percentage of costs as a guideline.
- Estimate fees whether hourly or fixed fee projects.
- Define how many hours you have in each phase and how to manage those hours.
Join Douglas and Paul for what promises to be an engaging presentation — there will also be an opportunity to ask Douglas any questions you may have around estimating fees, improving your profitability and more. You can register for the talk here — we hope to see you there!
