Please state the design project type, e.g. HERE ARE MY DESIGN TIMES USING SKETCHUP AND LAYOUT:ġ. As an exmaple for this post and how easy this is to define a project, i’ll now post my times below: The intent of this post is to help designers who care about their production times, to guage where they are at roughly with their own workflow production times. so 1-2 months per project (designs typically 40-80 D sheets of which 10-12 may be “stock” details on treatment construction, 5-6 demolition and prep, 10-12 on structure, 8-10 on MEP plans and detail, 5-10 on architecture plans, elevations, sections, 4-8 on schedules, finishes, safety, and perhaps another 5-8 on something else - integration, alternatives, etc). most of that depends on responsiveness of the client and number of design iterations.

In general, preliminary designs usually about 2-3 weeks for finalizing the design model and key parameters, then 2-4 weeks creating the final model and documentation. and also depending on “buildability” (for example, an owner with moderate experience versus a professional contractor with experience in isolation and acoustic design builds), more time can be spent on documenting some details so a less experienced person can understand what they’re building versus what they might know, read about, or see in a video. since i do mainly smaller professional recording studio designs ($150K-$500K to build and acoustically treat, typically), the site can vary significantly (in fact, over 18 years of doing it, no project has been fully reusable). then as far as time goes, it depends on how much of it has mostly “standard” bits to it versus one-off.

I tend to price it on sq area of the project at a rate based on complexity in order to create a full project fee.
