Questions answered:
Anonymous:
You have mentioned including a pre-design service for the small commitment in the proposal. What does it include? and do you also outline other services and fees for the full service in the same proposal?
Jack:
You have signed up a fee proposal with a client for full services with an agreed % fee, on a staged project.
You have completed stage 1 in 2016 ($8M), and the client comes back today Dec 2020 and wants you to complete stage 2 ($6M), in Jan 2021.
Do you dust off that original agreement and re-set at the rates %, escalation, confirmed new CoW, all as per the original agreement?
Or do you set up a new agreement, based closely to the original one?
Jacob:
Do clients just jump straight to the fee – What order of content do you think works best?
Do you think people read the verbiage that comes with these documents?
What works best – Accurate content / resolved designs or sketches and conceptual vision? (when preparing competition bids)
Is there a magic size (length) to the document to hold attention?
What are your views on the most effective delivery platform – printed, email, website, tiktok?
Stuart:
Project Scope is often poorly defined in Proposal calls and despite our efforts to clarify, we are often left filling in the gaps. What do you suggest is the best way to approach a fee proposal in this context? Often we lose proposals becuase my competitors have made very different assumptions.
Anonymous Attendee:
You continue to suggest providing the client with fee ranges, or fee options. When providing fee options which require different scope descriptions, this can make the proposal very long. Can you give an example of what a proposal?
Auckland, New Zealand:
What do you do when you are a solo practioner and want to win a project? What’s will be the arch. Fee? Thanks
Drea:
Is this a private page? Password protected or external eg: dubSado?
Answered via text: Yes, a private password-protected page.
Stuart:
Most proposals are very strict on content, page numbering and run by procurement officers who know nothing about project delievery
How do you differentiate yourselves within strict proposal submissions
Danny:
When is your next workshop?
Anonymous Attendee:
Should there be 2 proposals? 1 for pre-design service and second after pre-design is completed for the actual project or is this presented in the form of a contract?
Danny Bogdany:

Drea:
Sorry last question – Is the Fee Proposal Workshop for architects only or would it be beneficial for IDs & Remodelers?
