Maybe I am being naive but simple math has me at $33/sf. They have the jet-ski and boat lifts so they are not part of this 40k.
The only complicated build is the octagon gazebo, we have never built one. Otherwise it is a pretty simply build. He is willing to sacrifice fancy decking material and use pressure treated.
We get $150 per pole plus the cost of the piling for setting a pole with our pile driver and it takes roughly 30 minutes to set one including fetching it and placing it under the hammer.
He is not quite sure if he likes the gable roof coming out of both sides of the main roof, even though it was his idea.
Any ideas how I can tie the two roof together without it looking like a series of roof systems?
I hope you're not showing them those renderings on a 40k job, i'd turn you down on a heart beat: but then again I graduated with an architectural degree so my standards for renderings are higher: especially on decent size job.

The customer is very happy with the drawings. Around here you are lucky to get a pencil and ruler sketch.
How about suggesting some changes to the design? Is it the design itself or the way I am presenting it that you feel brings out my shortcomings? Admittedly we can build better than design so feel free to make suggestions.

Huh? Is 40K a lot of money these days? There's maybe 8,000 dollars of profit in that job if things go well--for that amount of profit, I am more than willing to let the customer use his or her imagination.
All the dock plans i see around here are like his first picture and customers have no problems with them so his other renderings are a vast improvement to what you see around here. No point in getting too carried away as it is just a boat dock also.
The design is kinda of "sims like" there is no dept to the materials, you need to learn the hidden command of sketch up, the door is not proportional to the man (unless your clients are hobbits then you need to scale down the guy) etc I could go on and on. I am not trying to be mean, just trying to help you be more professional if you're going to try to do this renderings. If you want me to help pm me, or email me at [email protected]

Yes 40k is alot of money, I don't have that in my checking account. :laughing: These days in my area you're lucky to get 15k jobs unless you're building new houses.
Is that bit in red a joke or are you serious?:blink:
Just in case you are the door is on a gable end. It wont allow for a full height door and i guess it's maybe just a storage area. Looks just about the right size to me. Also i can tell you now that his drawings are way better than what anyone else will prob submit so he should be fine. Like OP says most will just submit a quick pencil drawing.
I assumed the door was to a storage space.
