EXAMPLE:
I've had clients ask for all sorts of renderings and models which were not in the contract. Yes, same people who know exactly what they want. I told them
show me the money, they said let's work it out. In lieu of putting the project on computer I hand drafted on 11x17 photocopies from their original prints they had.
I was able to put more time in design, and less into CD's because they cared about understanding the design and having the house right more than the paper I produced. We were only able to pull this off because the builder and I had done 20 projects together already and worked as a team.
math: 300,000 x .07 = $21,000
21,000/50 (approx rate) = 420 hours
He has approx. 420 hours to get the job done, use up half on design (210 hours) and you have another 210 hours to do the drawings and put out all the fires during construction.
Now if preliminary design/concept design is done, the total so far would be 21k x .15 = $3,150
Ask him why he has invoiced you for approx double agreeded, and let him know you are not happy with the concept so far. You might pay him half and get him to do more work. Or you could see him in small claims court so you can tell your side of the story to a judge.
