The average fees earned were: architects 4.26%, quantity surveyors 1.89%, project managers 1.71%, mechanical and electrical engineers 1.61%, structural engineers 1.45%, and planning supervisors 0.43%. There was little difference in fees from public and private sector clients. Table giving broad regional breakdown.
