Introduction
Welcome to this discussion on the importance of establishing a minimum scale of fees for engineering practitioners and firms. This initiative is a critical step toward ensuring transparency, fairness, and professionalism within the engineering industry.
By setting clear guidelines:
- Clients will have a reliable standard for the fees they need to pay consultants, promoting trust and value in the services provided. The institution developed one more than 10 years ago, it needs updating.
- Consultants will have a structured framework for compensating their engineers fairly, fostering equity and motivation within the profession.
This approach not only strengthens the financial foundation of engineering practice but also ensures that the contributions of practitioners are properly valued, supporting sustainability and growth across the industry. We can not leave this to the Ministry of Works and Housing to do it for us, we must develop ours.
I welcome your thoughts and contributions as we explore how this policy can elevate the standards of our profession and benefit all stakeholders.
