    There are no apples to oranges here in this comparison game. Edwards 2000 s.f. project will get him $6500. I just did a nothing project (attached) where someone needed a quick permit to repair their roof. 5k. We ended up adding some work to the project and submitting a revision which bumped this one up to about 6.5k. This is probably the smallest project I have done in 5 years and it is only 7 sheets with 2 of those being a paste up of the energy calcs (Title 24). I figured I would have about 5 hours into this project and I am pretty close to that at this point.

     

    And then there is the project I am about to do a major revision for (4th major revision in 2 years and we have not touched the house yet). If I would have saved all the checks from that client I could buy a new truck (a really nice truck).

    Question: My bread and butter right now comes from Aerospace 9-5 until my companies design firm is more profitable. I just completed my first spec and am offering it to the public at a home show. I was being asked yesterday about doing customs or modifying my spec. I let them know there would be fees. I can get a feel for the hours it should take since I'm thinking most on this thread are better than average. I am still in a moderate learning curve so I would not want to pass that cost onto my client. I have no idea what to charge though. Is anyone willing to give me a ball park per SF sounds like the best vs hours. If need be shoot me a PM I'd appreciate it. I'm in KS where prices may be lower, I got no idea about home designs, but is in most cases we are a lower cost of living here with house prices around $150,000 on average. My first home is listing @ $395,000, high, above that my client base would in the 33% of population here.
