"How about designing only 10 projects a year at $8,000 each in design fees? What type of projects bring in this fee? Very high-end residential can as well as public and commercial projects. These are projects that typically require conceptual plans (sometimes multiple), color and perspective renderings, well-conceived planting plans and full sets of construction drawings including written specifications. Going from Conceptual stage thru construction documentation is a TON of billable design hours. Also with these higher end projects, other design professionals are needed such as civil and structural engineers."
These projects are usually given to registered Landscape Architects who have seals for all of their documents. AGLA will probably agree with me on this one (since he is one). This is one of the many reasons why I my goal is to take the L.A.R.E. and become registered by next year
