From Angela Hinton
The blog post Ian referred to: https://blueturtlemc.com/blog/top-3-design-contract-clauses-every-architect-should-know/
From Karen Hunt
When you are working on an hourly basis, how does your firm keep the client aware of the number of hours/dollars being spent in a way that doesn’t upset the client?  Weekly billing with description of work completed that week?
Blue Turtle Consulting:
Thanks Angela 🙂
From Jim Chambers
Many prospective projects require extensive upfront work before a complete proposal can be written. How do you recommend getting compensated for this process? Thank you, Jim
From john Bienko
do you enter your question in the chat or the Q&A tab
From Karen Hunt
Do you charge for travel time?
Blue Turtle Consulting:
Hi all 🙂 Please enter all questions in the Q&A panel so we can find them. Thanks!
From David Yates
I agree, always send proposal first (simple format) then send the ugly stuff (contract)
From Angela Hinton
The blog post Ian referred to: https://blueturtlemc.com/blog/top-3-design-contract-clauses-every-architect-should-know/
From Karen Hunt
These days a lot of conversation is done via email.  As such, on a fixed price contract, the time adds up and often puts the job over budget.  How do you handle that with a prickly client who doesn’t think the emails took that much time
From Angela Hinton
Thank you for taking all of my questions! Greatly appreciated!
From Amir Hemani
ask for a non-refundable retainer fee. If client is serious, the contract will be signed. Also last payment to be received prior to signing last document/drawing/schedule.
From David Yates
Or ask……how can I tailor my fees to your budget?
ALL fees are non-refundable

From David Yates
I have a recent article on what/how interior designers can charge based on different formats. Email me at dyates@davidandrewinteriors.com, will share!
It’s written for interior designers, not clients.
From Ashley salzmann to All Panelists:  09:28 AM
I will email you, David. Thanks
From David Yates
But I share it with my clients if they hesitate or ask why each designer charges differently.
From john Bienko
What should be considered Basic Service
From David Yates to Everyone:  09:30 AM
I “tease” clients all the time with how I would approach a project. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. “Pre-design/feasibility study” BRILLIANT
From Irena Skoda
is this recorded and will you send
Blue Turtle Consulting:
Hi Irena. Yes, this session is recorded and will be sent to all registrants 🙂
From David Yates
YES!!!! Exclusivity contract!
From Ian Motley
https://blueturtlemc.com/blog/how-to-avoid-giving-away-free-design-services/
From Jing Huang
Hi Ian, how to avoid to provide free design for friends’ domestic projects?
From David Yates
Sometimes you don’t even get to the “implementation” stage and only complete the design phase, so percentage of buildout may not work. Break it into two phases, design and implementation
Maybe then credit the design fees against the implemenation percentage fee then.
Attendees, I received your email requests, will send the artical after this presentation!
Panelists we need a Part II to this webinar!!!!
YES! Regular fee proposal then dicounted. May even work for non-friend/family proposals
From Amir Hemani
I hear you clear and loud about regular fee vs discounted fee.
From RICHARD CARSTENS
IF you work with friends or family – just don’t talk it personally – youre the pro and you have made the CHOICE to work for free.
From Angela Hinton
Thank you so very much for sharing your time and excellent knowledge. Take care!
From Jing Huang
Ian, thank you very much for answering my question!
