FAYETTEVILLE, Sept. 01, 2017 -- Zweig Group released the annual Fee & Billing Survey of Architecture, Engineering, Planning & Environmental Consulting Firms yesterday, August 31, 2017.
The 2017 Fee & Billing Survey of Architecture, Engineering, Planning & Environmental Consulting Firms is the standard guideline for industry firms looking to benchmark fees, billing rates and billing practices, and evaluate productivity and utilization.
The 2017 edition includes the latest available data on fee structures for every major market type in the A/E/P and environmental consulting industry, billing rates and chargeability statistics for 33 levels of employees (from clerks up through principals), statistics on sub-consultant fees and reimbursable expenses.
After a clear indication that hourly rates were going up through 2014-2015, readers will find that billing rates have continued their increase but with a slightly different trajectory. This study of fee and billing practices contains clear evidence of some changes in how firms are billing clients and collecting their unpaid invoices.
