I need to work out some competitive fees for some precast parking structures on a $/SF or $/Stall basis. Anybody have any advice to offer? Details:

- All above grade.

- Low seismic.

- Ontario is the market but data from elsewhere is better than nothing.

- It'll be the model where the design team sets the layout and I do foundations, lateral, and preliminary sizing. A precaster will be driving it home with the detailed design when all is said and done.

- There's talk of doing it Revit. I'd be interested to receive input on that front. Fee impact? Pitfalls to watch out for? Trying to Revit model something that's basically a ramps makes me cringe a bit.

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

For these percents of the construction cost, are you including site work?

Nope.

Also, do you actually need to produce all the elevated levels in Revit and show the precast preliminary sizes or just giving input for the rest of the design team?

So far, I'm being asked to model it. Low level of detail but still..

@dik: thanks for the warning on cost per stall. I haven't fully digested it yet but this article suggests closer to $20K US?

Yup... can you run it past a local contractor? Typical stall for an efficient parkade is about 300 ft2 per vehicle or slightly more...
