Re use of plans
Re use of plans
(OP)
I have designed a pressure treated wood foundation for a house for a client. He now wants to use the drawings to build 20 more houses using the same plans. My fee was $500 for the initial structural drawings. The houses are all to be built in the same subdivision.What do you think would be a reasonable fee for each of the projects.

$250 for engineered PWF plans seems to be very low.

I would think a small residential job would have been a few hours to design and an additional one half to check. Add in an hour for client liason and checking the drawing, I' call it a four hour job.
But you're all quite right; It's unlikely that the job was this straight forward... I'd like to hear a responce from the OP!
