JbeckWY Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 What is the general practice when charging for plans with a full walkout basement? Do you include it into the price/sq.ft.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Most of the work in a project is the functional layout, finishes, electrical, mechanical, energy, etc. Those things keep changing and will almost always take more time than you expect. When you are working on your own projects it's easier to stay on schedule but when you have a client it's not so easy. So I break it down like this: For finished livable space I charge my normal sq.ft. rate. ie: 100% For semi-finished (garage or shop) I charge 50%. For unfinished with just a slab floor I charge 25%. I add for Permit processing, Consultants, Supervision, Renderings & Printing to cover time and additional costs. Generally these are broken down as time & material fees. Don't under-charge - but be reasonable. Only you can set the actual rate based on your level of expertise and the value of your time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
