Free Civil Engineer Quote Template
Civil engineers quote by project phase because site conditions discovered during ground investigation can completely change the scope of a drainage or foundation design. A phased quote allows the client to proceed through discovery before committing to full design.

Frequently asked questions
How much do civil engineering consultancy fees cost?
Civil engineering day rates range from €800 to €1,500 for a principal engineer. A drainage design for a residential development costs €1,500 to €5,000. Infrastructure design for a small housing scheme (roads, sewers, drainage) costs €8,000 to €40,000 depending on the number of plots and planning requirements.
What should a civil engineering quote specify?
The quote should list the specific design elements (drainage layout, road design, earthworks, retaining walls), the number of design iterations included, planning and regulatory submissions, and site inspection visits. Also note which specialist surveys (topographical, geotechnical) are the client's responsibility.
Do civil engineers charge for planning authority liaison?
Yes, typically as an additional service. Attending pre-application meetings, responding to planning queries, and revising drawings in response to authority feedback takes significant time. Quote these interactions separately or as a contingency allowance within the design fee.
