Pricing:
- Almost all pricing is done on a lump sum basis. This is to ensure that every
client has a clear understanding of the total cost of the project. We will
provide a bid price before any work begins based on the scope of work
that you wish to have us perform. Any changes that are made after work
begins will be negotiated at the time of the change, if required. We feel
this policy ensures satisfaction at the end of the project since our firm and
our clients both fully understand the cost of the work being performed.
- For most jobs we will include a permitted set of plans, and stamped
engineering calculations as required by the jurisdiction. Due to the many
differing requirements of jurisdictions, our firm will provide one full size
set of plans and three sets of engineering calculations. If additional sets of
plans are required, there will be additional charges based on the cost of
printing.
- An initial meeting to provide scope and breadth of the work and a fee
proposal from our firm are of course at no charge to the client.
- A retainer is required to begin work. This retainer in most cases will be
10% of the total cost of the contract.
- In most cases, the total cost of the contract must be paid at the time of
delivery of final plans and engineering.
- A contract will be prepared at the beginning of the project to layout all
aspects of what is expected of our firm, including completion dates, as
well as what is expected of the client. This is to ensure that there are no
miscommunication between our firm and the client.
