Im tired and I didnt see you had already said complexity in your post. I would say you should charge twice the normal drafting rate for your area at a minimum. The families you create are not simply drafting work but rather data the company will add to their library. Depending on their needs, 2x the going drafting rate may be quite low.
chances are, when you do "finish" them (that is, think you are finished), you will probably be called a zillion times adding more parameters to those familes.... so i'd say charge a bit more
yeah, that sounds right,...be careful with them adding tons of parameters once they start using them...I would bid the first part , thenm go hourly...like you said,
yes what kind of families are these? something like doors, windows or casework are going to be alot more complex than toilet accessories and would demand a higher fee for their proper completion

any ideas how much should i charge to make revit families for an architect?
i noticed that some sites charge 60 - 300 per family based on complexity. any thoughts?
or should i just charge like 40 bucks an hour?
i never know with stuff like this
thanks for your thoughts
I would imagine it depend on complexities of each family?
