Help With Pricing

I am doing my first freelance work. I have to do some building floor layout drawings. Just make some corections and some design changes from the Architect. I'm not sure how to price the job. Any suggestions.

Re: Help With Pricing

Estimate how long you think it will take to complete the task, multiply that by how much per hr. you need to make then add a percentage for over-head and profit.

Don't forget materials, printing costs etc.

Re: Help With Pricing

It depends on who you work for. Sometimes you can go straight T&M (time and materials), and some people like it lump sum. Ask your client what they prefer.
