So, I had to cut out of school this spring for a medical nightmare and looking to maybe advertise in my local cities reddit for design or schematic drawings. I live in Washington State, and it is legal for me to design up to a 1400sqf space without a license.
That being said I am adapt at AutoCAD, some Revit and lots of SketchUp and have worked in construction before. I am mainly talking about just drawing up schematics for people's small projects for permit approval or putting something togeather in SketchUp for them or general advice. Like garage additions, sheds or smaller ADU's. Not trying to design a whole house or anything too far out of my depth. I would probably just refer them to one of my local AIA friends in that case.
Basically, I am just not sure what to charge.......should I bid on a job or charge by the hour? I don't want to under bid the market and take work away from others. I was thinking $300-$700 for schematics and material estimations and maybe charge idk $12 to$15 an hour for design work. If anyone has any experience in side work that would be helpful.
-Thank You.
