I am employed by the company I do design work for, I am not an independent contractor or sub. My question is really about how a design / build firm should handle this internally. I am really looking to help increase profits from design work and to assist in helping them develop new and better design fee standards.
All of the comments so far have been very informative and I appreciate them. I would also like to hear about any others out there working in the design / build world and how they approach design fees.
Thanks everyone!
