Reeling from the economic downturn in recent years, A/E firms face a competitive business environment, and setting fees at levels that attract clients has not been without its challenges. According to ZweigWhite’s 2010 Fee & Billing Survey, close to three-quarters (71%) of A/E firms adjust their budgets on an annual basis. Moreover, firms responding to the survey reported both increases and decreases in fees, but, overall, fees have changed a median of five percent this year.

ZweigWhite’s Fee & Billing Survey of A/E/P & Environmental Consulting Firms takes an in-depth look at the fee structures and billing practices of U.S. architecture, engineering, and environmental consulting firms. This report gives managers the information they need to see if their firm is charging enough or too much for their employees’ time, reimbursable expenses, equipment usage, and more.
