i am being offered a consultancy job for a construction project. how much should i ask for a fee?

Question

is it based on the project cost?

Answer 1

You can charge an hourly rate or a project rate.

I would recommend an hourly rate, because as you go they may ask you to do more and more.

Work out what you think you are worth per hour, then double it.

If they want a project rate, then calculate your fee based on the hours you expect to work.

For new consultancy work I often ask them to make an offer. They know how much value my work will add to their company. Then I will tell them how much work I will be prepared to do for that amount of money.
