For the 7 years I've been in business as a consulting engineering (primarily land development and civil design in northern California) I've never been able to develop a good procedure for bidding on a lump sum design job (e.g., all civil plans and spec's, plus drainage report and other misc. items for 50-lot subdivision). I've heard some guys use $3,000/acre, or 10% of the construction cost. I'm in the process of writing a cost proposal for a $16 million multi-family housing complex and it is impossible to predict how many hours and what all my costs will be.
Anybody have any good ideas they want to share?
