How are c2cs fees calculated?
The fee is normally related to the cost of the time and resources expended on the project. The time spent on a job (including travelling time) is chargeable at an hourly rate. Expenses which are incurred directly as a result of an assignment and which are properly recoverable from the client are charged separately from the fee element, generally in the form of an itemised invoice. Such expenses may include local authority fees, payment of sub-consultants, travel, accommodation and subsistence, data processing, the purchase of maps, plans and other documentation. VAT is also chargeable. It is also open to us to agree an additional fee if the work is required urgently or requires significant work outside of normal working hours. A retainer payment is normally required on commencement of the work. This is normally offset against the final invoice or returned to you on settlement of the final account.
