I saw this on SFX, and want to be sure all of you who follow PMKC also are strongly encourage to submit your perspective on why the 6% federal fee cap for basic services should be eliminated - while the % approach may address inflation concerns (unless for some reason the design sector has experienced higher inflation than the construction sector), there certainly does seem to be more expected of us than there was 74 years ago...
AIA is seeking your feedback and insight for examples on how the scope, demands, and expectations of the architectural profession has expanded in the past seven decades. Please feel free to refer to the hyperlinked memo here for more background information on this initiative. Please navigate to the survey where you can provide your feedback via the link here.
For more background, AIA is moving forward with a federal policy initiative to eliminate an arbitrary 6% 'limitation' on architectural design services for relevant federal construction contracts. To prove our case that the 6% limitation, or 'cap,' on architectural design fees is out-of-date with 21st-century demands, we need additional information from AIA-members on real-world examples to how the scope of the architecture profession has expanded since the 6% limitation's inception in 1949.
AIA appreciates any information you could share to this effect. Please feel free to navigate to a survey link here to provide information.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact Blake Nanney, at blakenanney@aia.org.
Sincerely,
Emily Grandstaff-Rice, FAIA
