Hi,
I got a call to go look at building some custom case-work. I am thinking about charging to do an estimate. I haven't charged for an estimate before, but I get calls for these somewhat frequently, and it always takes alot of time to prepare. I usually end up drawing everything out, making cut lists, and doing a take-off to get an accurate price. Most of the time, I end up doing this for free, or have to work in changes, etc.
This time I am thinking about charging $250 to do the proposal. That will get design in sketch-up, proposal, and up to 3 finish samples. Does this seem reasonable?
