The Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM) Form of Contract and Scale of Fees set the mandatory professional rules, service scopes, and minimum payment percentages for consulting engineers. You can access official regulatory guidelines and documents directly via the Board of Engineers Malaysia portal.
Structure of the Scale of Fees
- Part A (Professional Services): Outlines core engineering duties like design, planning, and supervision.
- Part B (Scale of Fees): Provides calculation tables and percentage fees based on total project and construction costs.
- Part C (Other Payments): Covers reimbursements, specialized site staff, and extra consultative expenses.
Key Principles
- Cost Brackets: Fees scale proportionally using maximum and minimum percentages tied to total construction value.
- Complexity Classes: Different engineering works are categorized by technical difficulty rather than a single flat rate.
- Public Protection: Designed to prevent severe undercutting that risks public safety and structural integrity.
