Engineering and design fee 1/3 of the project. That is why some construction projects are increasing in cost so much. As raw material costs increase, design engineers are raising their costs since they get paid as a percentage of the project instead of an hourly fee on their work. They can take some of that extra money and then funnel it back to the elected officials who steered the project to them.
