Good evening to all,
I am preparing a quote for the design of a part of a mechanical plant.
I looked at the professional rates, and it seems that for the design the tariff should be "percentage". only that, being a plant of a type that is not known to me, I have great difficulties to calculate a value of the work and estimate a percentage for the hourly.
I imagine that I have to estimate a weight, know the cost parameters per kilo for the specific plant, and use an honorary percentage for the industrial sector.
I get much easier to estimate time for various design tasks, each with a different time cost, and then sum everything.
professional rates however say that this way of proceeding is applicable to:
a) reliefs of any nature and related preliminary studies; the verifications for corrections of borders and similar;
b) the competences for negotiations with the authorities and neighbouring, the practices for expropriations and locations, information and similar conferences;
c) the time spent on return journeys, when work to be paid by percentage or quantity must be carried out outside the office;
(d) variants to the maximum projects, during the course of study of these, if resulting from circumstances that the professional could not foresee
How do you behave?
