Description
E-mails sent to a number of companies to explore market testing of budgets for exhibition and gallery design services with the marketplace, to understand more about how suppliers calculate fee level and particularly: - The rough fee percentage range for RIBA Stage 2 services onwards, based on construction costs, for 3D and 2D design disciplines (understanding that other services e.g. exhibition lighting, structural services, AV consultancy etc would be separate to this) - What suppliers expect the 'Construction costs' amount for this working to include e.g. interactives, showcases, setworks etc; if these are produced / have Contractor's Design by others
