Samuel James Project Management | New Builds | Self Builds

Fees

We like to keep our fee structure as open and competitive as possible and are open to agreeing a fee structure that suits your budget either as a fixed rate, a fixed fee or a percentage of cost but fundamentally whatever suits your requirements and budget.

Typically, our fees, based on a 4,000 sq/ft new build or refurbishment are as follows but as each project is very individual, we can tailor a fee structure to suit your requirements and budget.
