23. Guideline professional fees for a project that includes repeated buildings

 

For a project consisting of a number of repeated buildings erected under a single building contract for a single client, the fee may be reduced by agreement, subject to the architectural professional being retained for a full service and the repeated buildings being built on one site or a series of adjoining or closely related sites;

 

(a) either entirely apart from each other or linked with screen walls, common walls or other similar means; and repetitions of one or more prototype designs for units, blocks or elements and built from the repeated use of one or more sets of drawings and related documents with nominal or no modification for each re-use. This does not apply to similar floors or divisions in a multi-storey building;

 

(b) The guideline professional fee for repeated buildings provides for a full fee applicable to the origination of the first building/s, referred hereafter as prototypes. Thereafter the fee adjustment is applied to each of the repeated prototypes;

 

(c) The adjusted fee applies to work stages 1 to 4 inclusive. The adjusted fee apportionment is 35% of the guideline professional fee for stages 1 to 4 inclusive;

 

(d) The adjusted fee does not apply to work stages 5 and 6. The full guideline professional fee for these stages shall apply.
