I finished my major project Thursday at 2:30. Basically been on coast mode since. I’m enjoying the **** out of this weekend.

I've got plan reviews stacking up all over the place. Aside from the normal tenant finish-out retail stuff, I've got 3 large assisted living facilities over 200K sf each along with 4 new high rise office/apt buildings that are 20-45 stories tall. Wheeeeeeeee....

The architect called me yesterday regarding my proposal for one of the office high rises worried about my numbers. I've been doing this for 15 years, so I've got a pretty good idea on my expenses and income. The proposal was perfectly fine from my perspective, but to make sure they were happy I added 25% and raised my costs from $3K to $4K for my services. Whatever lol... guess I can't complain

Had a client come to me and tell me we weren’t charging enough and he wanted us to submit a new increased rate schedule. Needles to say I didnt argue much.

Most architects just pass consulting costs onto the owner through their contract documents. With a 10% markup. So when I increase my proposal costs, it makes them more money. No wonder they are pushing for higher fees.
