If the architect is only contractually responsible for architectural, mechanical, electrical, and structural services, what
are the traditional design fees in percentages? Jenny's notes includes civil engineering, which is an additional service.

Not always.
Percentage of Construction Cost
Percentage of Approved Budget
Lump Sum
Hourly
Hourly with a Cap (or Limit or Maximum)
Dollars per Square Foot or per Unit
Prototypes and Reuse Fees
Performance Bonus or Success Fees
Composite

I definitely agree with you Coach, but the reason I'm asking is because I recently saw a question asking me to determine design fees including the traditional consultants
up to a certain design phase. The only way to determine this is by using percentages based on what the architect and his/her consultants would use. I also think this question
might have been a red herring.

Yes if the contract is based on a "Stipulated Sum". Ok, lets just say the client says he/she has $1,000,000 for just design. At the end of design which
designer (Architect, Mechanical, Electrical, Structural) would consume the most of the money and how much did they consume based on the stipulated amount?
I can't seem to find a solution to this type of question. Jenny notes has a list of traditional design fees, but includes civil engineering which is not required by the architect
to provide based on B101. So if i removed civil engineering from the equation, that throws all the other percentages out of whack.
