Pricing for houses in a development-help

[tchomes]

Until now, I've only done one-off custom homes and variations for individuals and builders. I have a standard fee I use for those jobs.

I was recently contacted about doing 10 new plans for a 350 home planned neighborhood. I need some advice on pricing strategy. I presume I charge full rate for the initial 10 designs and then their would be a royalty/re-use fee for each time they build an additional home. What do you all charge for the re-use? Is it a percentage of the original price or a set amount?

I don't want to price myself out of the job, but also don't want to give them away for free either.

These homes are in the 1,700-2,000 sqft starter homes, single story. Build price in the $150k's

I appreciate your guidance.

Thank you,

There should be a royalty fee + additional fees for reversed plans, site plans, revisions (if they are offered). I charge a pretty basic fee, usually $500, but only on the understanding that I do any additional work at my hourly rate or a predetermined fee for service. My contractors appreciate me dealing directly with the customers as it saves them one step and in the end gives them happy clients.

Thank you for the reply. I appreciate your opinion and that sounds fair.

Very similar to Sherry-

Once I have created the plan for a builder they can pay a re-issue fee of 500.00 and an hourly rate for revisions such as siding or roof changes- mirrored plans- site plan prep - etc...
