Our fees are related to the size, function and complexity of a Client's requirements and are usually based on a percentage of the final overall cost of a project. Dependent on the size and nature of the project, this percentage can range from 4 to 18%. At Chiltern Projects we will assess each potential project and decide on the correct fee percentage to charge.

In the initial stages of a project it is often impossible to estimate the construction cost since this does not become clear until the design has been developed to a detailed level. Therefore we will usually charge an agreed lump sum figure for the preliminary stages of a project. Once the client is happy with our  proposals we are then able to determine a budget estimate for the project costs, and will charge a percentage based fee from this point onwards. On some projects it may be more suitable to charge an hourly rate or fixed fee for our services, (for example, if we are employed purely to produce reports, perspectives or surveys).

In addition we charge for all reasonable expenses and disbursements. VAT is payable on all our invoices.
