Time is Money!
We've all heard the adage "Time is
money". Use your time wisely by doing what you do best. Use your
money
wisely by letting us do what we do best. We have the equipment and expertise in
Computer Aided Drafting to get the job done, professionally and quickly. Saving
you time. Saving you money.
Time is Money!
Time is money for us too! We base our estimates on
the amount of time we expect it will take to complete the job. The amount of
time to complete a job depends on the level of detail and number of drawings
(pages).
- Don't be fool by estimates based on square
footage. The square footage of an unfinished basement may be the same as the
square footage of the first level. The level of detail between the two is
significantly different. Naturally it will require less time to complete the
basement drawing.
- Don't be fooled by estimates based on
number of pages. We all know a small cabin with a minimum level of detail
may have the same number of pages as a million dollar mansion with a high
level of detail. Obviously it will require less time to complete the cabin
drawings.
- Don't be fooled by very low estimates from
firms who also provide other services. Often these estimates are below
actual costs. These firms take calculated risks hoping to make up the
difference elsewhere.
Our estimates have to be
accurate!
If we estimate too low, we might win the
job, but ultimately we would lose money, and not be in business very long. The fee we
charge is used to pay our drafting personnel,
as well as the normal business operating costs (taxes, rent, utilities,
supplies, equipment maintenance, etc.).
If we estimate too high, we would make
considerable profit, but we would not be very competitive
and lose many opportunities. Our
current rate for Computer Aided Drafting services is $70.00 USD. As we've
mention before, our estimates are
based on the amount of time to complete each drawing.
For example, our estimate
for the BSLODGE was calculated as follows:
