I would, however, estimate it based upon the required hours for various tasks. Another way to look at it is to estimate the number of sheets required but then add in additional costs for complexities, meetings, coordination, shop drawings and field inspection. Be sure to define with your client what services are required. Base your proposal upon the same foundation system as the existing building and so note that in your proposal to protect yourself.
Good Luck!
