At YGP, you can tailor your payment and service arrangements to meet your unique needs. We offer you flexibility through a choice of different fee and design packages, allowing you to select a combination that addresses every aspect of your individual project.
Our fee packages are designed to offer you supreme convenience. You’re able to pay in an arrangement that’s best suited to the type of service we provide you. For maximal ease, you may even choose separate fee packages for different phases of your project.
FEE PACKAGES
LUMP SUM OR FIXED FEE
Services are paid for in a single payment. The fixed fee is determined at the beginning of the project.
This arrangement is best suited for projects with a cost, scope, and schedule that can be estimated with reasonable accuracy. Examples include the preparation of an architectural rendering, or the creation of marketing materials.
TIME BASIS
Services are paid for according to an hourly rate which we’ve agreed upon at the start of your project.
Time Basis is best for work with a scope that’s difficult to accurately estimate, or work that takes only a short period of time. An example of this would be YGP meeting and filing paperwork with authorities to obtain official project approvals.
CONSTRUCTION PERCENTAGE BASED FEE
Price is based on a percentage of your project’s construction costs. This can be calculated in two different ways:
1. Net basis, excluding consultant fees
2. Percentage, including consultant fees
Consultant services include engineering, town planning, energy assessment, and other similar services.
Construction cost is the builder’s contract price(s) of all project elements, including Goods and Services Tax (GST). Where there is no contract price, the cost will be YGP’s estimated cost of the construction.
DESIGN PACKAGES
We offer several design packages that are built for different project types and work scopes. Each of our design packages can be customised to address the specific needs of your project. Below, you’ll find a link to our detailed Design Package guide, plus a quick overview of each package’s offerings.
