What is an average project/hourly charge for organizing a small office?

Question

I have been asked to re-organize a small office and need to determine whether to charge by the hour or by the project? It could take as long as a week. I'd appreciate it also if some idea of what a reasonable fee would be could be given.

Answer 1

I'd think something like $1000-1500 if it takes a week and this is an area where you have expertise. If you were doing it on an hourly basis and it was a short assignment, at least $50 an hour. Probably more if you're in a major city, maybe a little less in a small town or if the business is owned by a friend or relative.
