Rates
We are always ready to bid on projects large and small, on site and off, working hand-in-hand with client's developers or entirely on our own. We act as consultants and developers. We can assemble a hand-picked team or present a single Craftsman as a freelance contractor.
We very rarely bid on fixed-price contracts. And, if we need to travel, we bill at the US Federal Government's per diem rates.
