I wanted to ask if it’s common that when you hire an engineer company to oversee, etc a project (like we hired them to oversee work to be done on the facade because there was a leak) would an engineer company get 10% of the whole project?
We’re also hiring them for our window project.
Getting info like this from our Board is hard.

We pay our engineers either of two ways most all the time.
We pay at an hourly rate, bills to be submitted as the project proceeds.
Or we get a fixed total quote upfront for what the whole job will be.
I'd say the first arrangement is the more common one.
I'd resist the % arrangement as this incentivizes the engineer to be happier as the size of the job grows.
