COMPENSATION OF PRIVATE DESIGN PROFESSIONAL.
Text — Current through the 89th 2nd Called Legislative Session, 2025
(a) A private design professional retained under this chapter shall be compensated under this section.
(b) The commission shall establish compensation for a new project or rehabilitation project by studying compensation paid in this state by private clients for projects of comparable size and complexity. Compensation may not exceed the minimum recommended for similar projects by the:
(1) Texas Society of Architects, if the private design professional is an architect; or
(2) Texas Society of Professional Engineers, if the private design professional is an engineer.
(c) Compensation established by the commission covers all professional services rendered by a private design professional, including professional inspection as defined by Section 2166.351. If the commission requires detailed inspection as defined by Section 2166.351, the commission shall increase compensation by an amount equal to the actual cost of providing the detailed inspection.
(d) Compensation for preparation of a project analysis under Subchapter D may not exceed one percent of the estimated cost of construction. If the project is approved by the legislature in substantially the form originally requested and the same private design professional is retained for the later phases of design, compensation paid for preparing the project analysis under this subsection shall be deducted from compensation paid under Subsections (b) and (c).
