![]() ![]() That shows that he doesn't have the clients best interest in mind. Never let a contractor pull you to the side to discuss a problem with the design. It may be time consuming but if everything is on the table (owning my own mistakes) shows that you are an honest person with only your clients well being in mind. ALWAYS have all meetings with clients involved. Archicad and it's modeling ability allow me to really work one on one with the client. Doing quality work for clients and contractors gets all the projects I need. I can always help a contractor with enlarging his scope of work because I can better help his clients visualize the project and help educate them on the possibilities of their potential project. Seek out a couple of good contractors (with integrity), you can work together to bring more work in also. There are lots of firms who don't have a clue about modeling and it's potential. I also contract to other firms because of my ability to use Archicad. I have made it through these brutal last 4 years. Seems like your getting some great input. The going rate for drafting in my area is about $35/hr. What they don't realize is that it's taken me 10 years plus the eight hours to get to the point where I can provide this deliverable. Why?

At the end of the day, what's it worth to you? That's what you have to decide.Įstablishing a rate, like all other things, takes practice. Ask draftsmen at firms how much they are paid and add a multiplier 2.5-3. They should give you an hourly rate and you can break it down. ![]() Tell them you have your own drafting business and are sometimes looking for part time help. What would someone charge in New York? Call a local AE temp staffing company. I don't live in NY however, so that price is probably irrelevant. I would probably charge $600-$800 depending on the level of detail required. ![]()
