Does your percentage include everything, start to finish, or just permit drawings? Barring any change orders, there is a lot of work to be done after your initial construction set. I usually spend far more time on construction admin then initial design.
I admit that 5% is a nice dream, but I think 2% is a bit low. But what do I know.... I consult on my own and I have no work at all. I am spending my days reading all the classic literature I missed out on while in engineering school. If anyone has any Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Maugham, Hemingway, etc... questions, I am your man.
