About this file
This document is a detailed Design Estimate Application chart outlining the 6% Fee Limitation for Architectural and Engineering (A-E) design services. The chart comprehensively categorizes various design-related services across multiple project phases, including Studies and Investigations, Design Development, Concept Phase, Construction Documents Phase, and Construction Phase, and classifies each service as either "Included" or "Excluded" within the 6% statutory design fee limitation.
Key notes explain that special consultant services specifically applied to drawing or specification preparation are considered Basic Services and included within the 6% limitation, while services not directly related to working drawings are excluded. The document emphasizes that the 6% limitation applies only to complete design services contracts and does not cover design-build performance specification contracts. The chart provides a granular breakdown of services such as feasibility studies, environmental assessments, value engineering, site investigations, programming, design alternatives, and post-construction services, helping architects and engineers understand which services count toward the fee cap.

Notes
• Special consultant services specifically applied to the actual preparation of drawings or specifications
• Special consultant services are considered Basic Services and are included within the 6% Statutory A-E Design Fee Limitation.
NOT specifically applied to the actual preparation of working drawings or specifications
• Value Engineering AE Design Team Participation is included in the 6% of the project for which the services are required are considered outside the limits of Basic Services and are excluded from being within the 6% Statutory A-E Design Fee Limitation
• Note, the 6% limitation only applies to contracts for complete design services and do not apply to AE contracts for the preparation of performance specification or bridging documents for design build contracts.
