This may come as a loaded question but I've recently doing some design engineering (licensed PE) and was looking to get some feedback on how others doing similar work usually arrive at their cost for design engineering related to development of construction drawings. I'm not looking for anyone to share personal pricing strategies or proprietary information but rather just wanted to start a conversation to get some general feedback. As I venture into this new area I'm just trying to get a feel for what the market bears for typical designs in order to stay competitive.
What is the general pricing approach when approaching a new design for a commercial or industrial setting? Is it based on the number of drawing that need to be created ("X" amount per One-Line, "X" amount per site plan) or is it more approached from the building size? For example a typical electrical room in an industrial facility costs "X" amount and consist of a certain amount of drawings, with a quantity multiplier used for multiple buildings or structures.
Appreciate any feedback or general comments.
