This scheme provides a standardized framework designed to help professionals calculate their fees when providing planning services.

👤Who it's for

This framework is specifically for architects who are providing professional planning services. It is intended to create a consistent approach for all architects working within this professional capacity.

🎁What you get

By using this framework, you gain access to a standardized fee calculation framework. This system is designed to provide a clear and predictable method for determining how much to charge for your professional services. Having a standardized way to calculate these fees helps ensure that your pricing remains consistent with industry norms and professional expectations.

💰What it costs you

There is no monetary cost to access or use this framework. However, there is a requirement of strict adherence to the official calculation tables. To use this scheme effectively, you must follow the specific calculation tables provided within the framework to ensure your fees are determined correctly and professionally.

⚠️The catch to know

It is important to understand the current legal standing of this framework. While it is now classified as a guideline rather than a strict mandate, it remains the primary standard used in the event of professional contract disputes. Because it is still the benchmark for resolving disagreements regarding service costs, you must understand how it functions to protect your practice.

2. Review the specific tables to ensure they match the type of planning services you are providing.
