-Break down to different/crucial roles.
-Understand over heads (you may be paid 40/hour but the company may charge out more/-
insurance etc) CHARGE OUT RATE.
CHARGE WHAT and WHY
Generally, look at variables (eg change of direction half way through: Give example through case
studies)
Give VALUE to the work you are doing
Cost estimate/quote
How many hours it’ll take
What sort of costs -Not just a blanket hourly rate
Key Aspects of project
