Before you rely on this: BEM's actual Scale of Fees percentage tables (by cost band and Type A/B/C works) are a gazetted legal document, and the figures below are placeholder samples, not the real published rates. Open "Rate table" below and enter the exact percentages from your copy of the SOF 1998 / SOF (Rev. 2003), or the new scale once BEM's ongoing revision is gazetted — then this calculator will apply them correctly. Your edits are just kept in this browser tab, not saved anywhere.

Type BStructural engineering in buildings > 4 storeys
Type CM&E engineering systems in buildings > 4 storeys
02 Repetition discount for duplicate units
Only the first unit carries full design fee — identical repeats mainly add construction supervision, so BEM's housing scale applies a reduced percentage per additional unit. Define your bands below (unit range → % of the full single-unit fee). Sample values shown — replace with your gazetted SOF Housing Development figures.

The scale is degressive — the percentage rate steps down as the cost of works increases, then is interpolated between the two nearest points you've defined in the rate table.
04 Rate table — Type A
▸
Cost of works (RM) against fee percentage (%) at that cost. Add rows for every break-point in your gazetted table. Values in between are linearly interpolated.

05 Fee breakdown by stage

Adjust the proportion of the total fee payable at each stage to match your SOF copy or your engagement letter. Must total 100%.
