I need help in my proposals/contracts figuring out how to word project management hours to ensure I'm getting paid for that time, but not throwing the builder under the bus as that is an important relationship for my business. The scenario - custom home builder refers me to client, they want selections assistance, some drawings etc., I know the builder will call me for plumbing and electric walk thrus and not look at my deliverables prior... so say in 6 months I will doing site walk thrus etc. and need to bill the client for it.......For larger long term projects like ground up custom homes do you charge a retainer then bill against that and then hourly? .... and how do you word it that the client doesn't feel they are paying you to do the builders job? Thank you all!

Hi All! Wanted to share a project that I just finished! I did take a break because life got crazy and I honestly was just super discouraged because it's been so hard to find clients! Anyways! After completing this I realized how much I actually enjoy doing this so it has been a motivational boost! I even went to a networking event and handed out business cards which is huge for me since I am so introverted. This was a wedding venue, I refurnished the grooms room, bridal room and the living room.
