Subject: 3 Steps to Increase Your Fees NOW

One of the most pressing issues that firms in the Architecture and Engineering industry face is how to raise fees. While the economy is improving, faster in some sectors and geographies than in others, fees for Architecture and Engineering firms are not increasing across the board.

During the recession from 2007 to 2010, most firms saw their average project revenues and multipliers decrease, and corresponding hourly rates. Most of this was caused by competition, a reduction in available projects, and a glut of available experienced talent.

Now we face a period of increasing volume of work, a potential shortage of human resources in some areas with resulting growing salaries, yet fees have not increased at the same pace. The average firm fears “not winning” and they sabotage their own success by reducing fees in order to win work. So how do you get out of this vicious cycle?
