    Flipping or reflecting a full set of plans

    in General Q & A

    Posted

    Thanks for your input. I have a client that wants to build same house on lot next to it, but flip it from left side carport and plan to a right side carlport plan. Instead of just flippling it on plot/site plan, deciding what to do! Maybe charge by the hour to flip it , plus stock plan fee. What do some of you other guys do or how to charge contractor to flip a plan?

    Newell,

     

    Since you asked, I posted this quite some time ago...

     

     

    I was just trying to be straight with you.  As with many of your other threads it looks like you may have never returned to it, and certainly didn't respond to it. 

     

    Anyway, some of those negative points were from me.  Not because I think you are too small.  On the contrary, I think you've got  lot going on and it just seems like you treat this forum like a repository for free help to get that work done and nothing more.  Truth is that I'm not sure I've seen any evidence that you're trying to learn or help others learn, mostly you just want to get work done and have us do it for you (at least that's what it seems like).  In fact,  I stopped responding to your threads a long time ago after I poured in time to help you out...only to have my (correct) answers completely ignored or otherwise unappreciated and like I said in the above post, I don't think I'm the only one who feels that way although I may be the only one who has been willing to say so out loud.  Actually I just went back and read through a handful of your threads and was very quickly reminded exactly why I feel the way I do.

     

    So...in short, if you want a better reputation all you really have to do is take the time to participate a little better:

    • Take the time to truly comprehend the answers people give you so that we don't feel like we're wasting our time.
    • Invest the time to learn so it doesn't feel like we're just doing your work for you.
    • Maybe do a little helping out yourself from time to time, but most of all...
    • Just participate better.  In my short foray into the past I found thread after thread where people were donating their own valuable time, legitimately trying to help you and you failed to participate even in your own thread.  If you want help and if you want to learn you should be willing to take the time to respond to people trying to help you. 

    Admittedly it seems you've gotten a little better.  I don't think your reputation has gone down in some time though either.  And lastly, just as a side note for whatever it's worth,  I've given you positive reputation in the past as well...

     I must had made someone mad on the form. If I made someone out there mad, I am sorry. I have a negative -9  community reputation . I never noticed there was even a rating. What is this rating system? I am thinking it is one of the Chief experts pros, that is on here all the time, which I respect but I am probably to small a guy to them. How can I get a good reputation on here?
