Hi all- striking out on my own soon and trying to figure out the “steady volume” work I can do while I grow my practice.
Does anyone have my insights on how much to charge for BOMA calcs for mixed use v office projects? A person who has been practicing for 25 years told me it’s $.02- that seems ridiculously low.
Is that what your firm charges for this project types? Thanks for insights -

BOMA plans and SF counts are really easy. I specifically don't do them a ton so I have to open the book every time (maybe 3-4 times a year) but some of our staff are up-to-date on current regional/market preferred editions.
Are they giving you plans? If so, I'd charge a flat minimum fee of 1/2 day labor. It's not going to take even that long. For certain long term clients, if they called asking for calcs for a small building, we probably wouldn't even charge.
If they aren't giving you plans, then you're charging for something else entirely, some level of record drawings to as-builts depending on what you can contract with the client.
