We developed a whole Value Based Fee System series that explains the questions, psychology, pricing strategies, etc. It's not a simple answer that can be answered without context. I wish I could!

I do have a moment of pause when I calculate a job. I belong to a designer networking group and everyone is scared of the flat fee. I agree that the trend looks like it's headed in this direction. The complaints from the other designers are substantial which are; I don't want do give up my discounts and all the money that I make on the side. With a flat fee do you give the client all your discounts or are you basing it on labor only. If you priced a job based on (small job) 8.50 a sq.ft What does that overall number include?<br>Joyce Hi Paul,
