Does anybody know how a draftsman might charge out his work.
My draftsman hit me with a bit of a larger price than I expected. He explained it away by saying he must have been drinking when he gave me that quote.
My home is a two story with a cupola on top with decks surrounding it. I thought he was only going to charge me for 1720 square feet @.75 cents a square foot, but he came up with these calculations:
Bottom floor including slab: 24 x 28 = 672
Main floor 40 x 43 = 1,720
Cupola 12 x 12 = 144
Total square footage 2,536
.75
$1,902
After thinking about it all night, I can see where he might want to charge his work this way, but I am miffed with his explination and lack of fordwardness.
Does anybody have any comments.
