What is the base interior design fee before coordination?

• A. $162,500
• B. $172,500
• C. $182,500
• D. $152,500

Answer: (B)

Base interior design fee is calculated as a percentage of the interior construction cost, before any coordination with other consultants is added. In this scenario the standard base rate used yields 172,500 when applied to the interior construction value. So the base fee before coordination is 172,500. Coordination charges are handled separately and come on top of this base.
