    Hi Marisa Ana Bustamante ~

    This is a great question; and as I get a bit closer to wrapping my head around what type questions will be asked, I have produced these (2) equations that are very similar to AHPP and a valued 3rd party resource.  If you will, please review and check my math, because I believe I know the difference between the both; however, I would prefer if someone could review the attached (2) equations (Both are using the same figures, just worded a bit different), this way I can perform the calculations from the words a bit more clear, if this makes any sense to anyone?

    NOR is used to pay for salaries, operating expenses, admin, office taxes..etc. It’s the revenue after deducting the consultant fees, other reimbursable and non-reimbursable project related (see AHPP # 414).

    NSR basically is a project budget prior to deduct the non-reimbursable expenses & contingency, but reimbursable expenses is not in the picture (this is the way we distribute the fee to calculate initial project labor budget – see AHPP # 625)

    So, since both NOR and NSR are clear from the reimbursable expenses.

    Then, NOR = NSR - reimbursable expenses.

    Hello all, 

    I just wanted to add to HaythamNCARB 's comment. I initially assumed that it would be :

    NOR= NSR - ( reimbursable expenses + non-reimbursable expenses).

    Please correct me if I'm wrong but my thinking is that since NOR is gross fee - consultant fees (aka NSR) - reimbursable & non-reimbursable expenses, both kinds of expenses would be part of the first equation. 

    Nevertheless, table 10.6 posted above only subtracts the non-reimbursable expenses. Can someone explain. why that is the case? 

    Thank you

    You're correct, when we deduct reimbursable expenses + non-reimbursable expenses from NSR it'll give us the same value of NOR.

    Part-2, in table 10.6 NSR is the pure Arch value w/o consultancy fee, so we need only to deduct non-reimbursable expenses to have the NOR or project labor budget.

    Hello Haytham, 

    Thank you for responding so quickly. So to clarify, are you saying that we don't need to subtract the reimbursable expenses because they have already been subtracted? Do you consider the consultant fees to play be the reimbursable expenses? I always saw them as two separate categories so in table 10.6, after subtracting the consultant fees and getting the NSR, I would still subtract both the reimbursable and non-reimbursable to get the value of NOR.

    Hi Magdalini,

    "we don't need to subtract the reimbursable expenses because they have already been subtracted" Yes, it has been subtracted initially ( Formula A-B)

    "Do you consider the consultant fees to play be the reimbursable expenses?" Correct, that's why in C 401 there's a clause for consultant payment when the owner pay the architect.

    " I would still subtract both the reimbursable and non-reimbursable to get the value of NOR. "  Yes and No, I think NOR for all the projects in the office ( Office Operation Wide) while NSR is for project specific to help you expecting the contractual fee billed to the client " Top down budget approach"

    Thanks for this active discussion, I'm now in the mode of recovery and restudy for the exam again.
