I usually also give two different rates per a schedule. That's if they already don't have a schedule set in stone yet.
I'll give the 'normal rate' which has a relaxed schedule. Like working 8 hour days Mon-Fri.
Then I'll give a 'rush' rate which has a more hectic schedule. This is usually significantly more than the regular rate. This is when you're working 12 hr days every day of the week until it's complete.
If the client wants the rush rate, you get paid more. I only have a handful of clients that do this. If not and they choose a normal sched, you have a project that has less stress...plus it makes it look like they're getting a deal or bargain this way.
When you send them an estimate, make sure you break down how long each thing costs too. Don't just hand them an amount. Spend some time on it to. Make sure you're realistic with it to, for yourself. Send them a nice and clean designed PDF too, not one of those cheesy Word / Excel templates.
