NEW JERSEY - 75/hr. for most services (most clients are NYC based)
Most projects--from design to plumbing to building a data center--are calculated on a per-hour basis and yes, you NEED to be able to justify your costs. That doesn't mean you can't back into it though. What I do is squeeze a budget out of my client and then tailor my service offering to that number. I use the aforementioned rates to break up the lump sum into hours, but we all spend more time on projects than we say we're going to, right? Soooo...
...it's like my first boss out of college taught me: You take the client, the client's budget and any other variables, and then you throw a dart at a dart board.
Works every time.
