James:
I'll be fine. Just thought I would throw some more variables to get you talking about how you operate.
Your help is much appreciated,
Sam
Sam,
RE: revisions - Sheesh. You asked for an estimate - I gave you one. NOW, you throw in all sorts of 'extras' to be considered.
I do not think that you can account for every variable... For example... what if there is a snowstorm that cuts power to your neighborhood for a week?
In the case of revisions - I have a clause on the estimate that informs them that when they make changes to a design AFTER layout has started - that the layout drops to an hourly rate - until I get back to where I left off in the design - and then the original estimate kicks back in. (Most engineers understand this.)
Do you really need this much help figuring this out?
Regards,
James Jackson Oztronics
Ok. Thanks for you input James.
