And you ask so nice for all of them, but sadly no, this is your homework.  Consider it a DIY project.

Never hurts to ask.  Be prepared to tell them why.  Has the going rate for contractors in your area of expertise increased?  Has the services you provide changed or the scope of those services changed or not?  If you ask for more than the going rate, the company may get bids from other contractors who are willing to provide the service for less.

Try doing a search on www.dogpile.com.  Look for free business proposal that fall under the category you're working on.  that should be a start.  It will at least give you a backbone...topics to start write about or include.

Place and ad in the Wall St. Journal soliciting bidders.  Be prepared to have hard numbers and detailed documentation though or you won't sell a thing.  You could also consider a thorough external audit so you can show this report to prospective buyers.

The "initial consultation" should be free.  If they want a per-hour rate, and you've never done this before, I'd consider $20-$25 to start (once you are real good, you can figure more), but only you know what your time is worth.  Also, I'd suggest a fixed bid - most people like this better.\n\nMeet with the people who want you to do the work, and define roughly the scope of the project - number of pages, graphics, operation, etc.  Then estimate how many hours you THINK it's going to take, double it, multiply that by what you think your time is worth, and quote that.\n\nOnce you get the job, you will score points if they have minor changes and you don't charge them extra.  However, if they come up with major modifications that are not reasonable (in our mind), don't hesitate to tell them that the changes "are not in the scope of the original design" and will cost more - and be prepared to quote a number when they ask "how much more?".\n\nDon't expect to get paid ANYTHING until you deliver SOMETHING.

Depends on what you are doing. they will charge for every item that is associated w/ project. Example would be, "How many receptacles are you putting in?" They will charge you individually for each. Typically the can run from hundreds to thousands. Your local Building and Safety office should have a web site that you could go to to get more info. \n\nGood Luck, mark11mil

I agree cash. If you offer to pay the contractor cash he may lower his price

It depends on the deal.  If this is all one person, then it's usually going to be after the deal is done, with some relatively minor draws after certain milestones are completed.  But, it's all very flexible. \n\nIf these are indeed different people (as is usually the case), then the architect is going to take a small fee up front, draws as his work is completed, and full payment upon substantial completion of the project.  \n\nI've worked deals where the developer took a salary on the project.  It has more to do with the financing structure and the reputation of the developer than anything else.  \n\nPrinciple owners have different investment strategies, but they'll usually take a portion of the NOI (Net Operating Income) after the project is moving along.  \n\nThe way these deals come together, it's more important to understand the process than the way it's supposed to be.  The players will come together and talk about the project.  They'll talk about value adds and check their premises together.  If it's a functional team, they're going to propose to one another when they're draws will come together.  This is kind of done in a round-about way, after confidence and chemistry is built in the team.  With deals like this, it's more important to have the right players than to have the right financing structure.  The finances can usually be adjusted around the realities of the project.\n\nUsually, the person that waits the longest to take a draw will make the most money on the successful ventures, but is bearing the greatest exposure to contingency issues.\n\nFeel free to contact me via Yahoo! Answers with any follow up questions.  Email tends to work better than IM.\n\nGood luck

sounds like a nice idea- even if by the time they recieve it- they already hired someone else!  Maybe they will keep you in mind next time there is an opening if they dont hire you this time.

I know in most states you have to bid on construction jobs. Try contacting your local state dept office.
