Six ways to work together — from advice to full management.

Rate basis: €60–95/hour engineer, €95–120/hour commissioning, €120–150/hour principal architect. Basic advice is free when Kronsavier supplies the system. Palladium supplements (“+”) are added to the Platinum fee; the Supreme charge is monthly, on top of the initial project.

All fees are absolute amounts. Palladium = the Platinum fee + the “+” supplement shown; Supreme = a project delivered to Palladium level + the annual operations charge shown. How the fee is derived — we do not charge a percentage of total CapEx. At tiers 06–07 the fee is calculated on the engineering value (facility, cooling loops, distribution, integration, commissioning — typically 25–50% of the project), plus a declared 1–3% commission on pass-through hardware (nodes, storage, switches, licences). The reason is simple: the engineering effort does not grow when the list price of a GPU does. In a year when accelerated nodes rose by more than 50%, a CapEx-percentage fee would have increased by hundreds of thousands of euros for identical deliverables — our structure stays unchanged, which makes it auditable under Law 98/2016 procedures. The exact fee is set at scoping. Supreme is priced as a 12–20% management commission on the delivered operating cost, with energy, licences and OEM hardware maintenance (8–12% / year of hardware value, post-warranty) re-invoiced separately, at cost. Detailed building MEP design is contracted separately — 5–15% of the construction works cost, not of total CapEx — and the Palladium commissioning role stays independent of the designer. The Palladium supplement follows the commissioning-agent norm (0.8–2% of construction value) plus the benchmarking campaign and the acceptance dossier. For public procurement: hardware at cost, with the fee declared transparently. At tier 07 the typical role is owner's engineer / technical assistance, not general contractor.
