Example Fee Calculation for domestic new build application
Fee calculation
- Single storey dwelling with a total floor area of 150 square metres.
- Minimum estimated cost (£/m3) = £1,872
- Estimated value of works = 150 x 1872 = £280,800
The fee for the application for Building Warrant approval should be based on a value of work of £280,800. Referring to the Table of Fees (see Appendix and Table 1), the Building Warrant fee would be £2064, which is the fee for the fee band for £280,000 to £300,000. (From 1 April 2024 the fee for this band will increase to £2,348).
Where a certificate from an approved certifier of design is indicated the appropriate discount is applied, in the case of a SER engineer’s structural certificate to cover ‘all parts‘ of the structural design, the fee would be discounted by 10%. The final fee would therefore be £2,064 less the discount of £206.40, which comes to £1,857.60.
