This additional feature provides an example of how to implement fee calculation of engineering services in the field of heating, ventilation, cooling and sanitary (HVAC) according to SIA Standard 108.
The Swiss Society of Engineers and Architects (SIA) develops standards and regulations applicable to the construction and planning sector in Switzerland. One of these regulations is published in standard 108 and describes recommendations for service agreements and calculation aids for the remuneration of planning services. The SIA service model regulates the life cycle of a building in six phases and twelve subphases and defines the services and fees to be provided by engineers for each phase.
This Additional Feature provides an example implementation of SIA Standard 108 based on this order:
Based on certain input parameters, budgets for SIA phases and fees for engineering services in the HVACS sector are calculated.

This creates a four-page PDF document with the following information:
Additionally, an Activity is created on which the quote is saved.
Based on the amounts on the building items of the building object, the budgets for the SIA phases are automatically calculated, which ultimately results in the quote sum.
Since the SIA data on the quote is required for the calculation, only those subphases can be calculated automatically. The quote should only include the subphases, not the phases.
The subphases represent the partial phases according to the SIA 108 service model and are located in the SIA phases folder. The budgets on the subphases are calculated based on the following parameters:
The service shares are both on the page Further information of the individual subphase:
as well as configurable in the overview of the SIA phases folder:
The subphases appear in the SIA Phases folder due to the activated checkbox SIA phase
.
The phases folder contains the parent phases with the codes 1-6 according to the SIA 108 service model. The subphases are allocated to each phase with the respective matching double-digit codes such as, the parent phase 5 Implementation with the subphases 51-53.

. As a result, it will appear in the settings in the project templates folder:SIA phase
on the further information page and enter the relevant percentages, if necessary. Activating the checkbox creates the SIA Phases folder in which the subphases are saved. For a project template to appear as a SIA template for selection, the project must contain at least one subphase with the checkbox activated.
You can create new building object templates in the folder Settings > Projects > Building templates. To do so, select New > Building. By right-clicking on the object, the relevant building items can now be created:
For each building item, the name and the item type (HVACS) can be specified:
