I have a Canon 40d with the 17-85mm lens. I may need to take some interior shots of cabinetry work in hospitals or schools. Probably overall room shots. Any tips on what lens would be good for this, would I need anything else. It's not an extremely high end job, but any tips are appreciated.

i made this one with a 40d, 18-50 lens, a tripod and some photoshop stitching. the perspective is a little extreme, but you can tweak that during the stitching.

ONe more thing is there a particular way to charge? I said $30/hr. THis is my first time ever so the money is not so important. He was wanting to know if there was another option like a flat rate? Any knowledge in pricing photog?

If it's a hospital I would just say $500 ... If you need to prep, clean and etc. $1000.00. But what you are doing is very vague, I don't know if it is 5 shots or 1000. Just depends on how many shots they want and how much time this will take you. You are worth something ... so make sure to get paid.

Pricing photography is not about the hourly rate, but about the usage. If the client is planning to use these images in an ad that cost $20,000 to run in a publication, or a book/brochure with a print run of 10,000, or a billboard campaign, then your pricing should reflect these things. Usage is the word.
Whatever you do, don't sign a contract that says "work for hire" if you do, it means you give up all rights to your images, and it also makes life hard for other photographers who actually have to make a living a this business.
John Harrington has some good advice about pricing photogrpahy.
