I'm curious what others charge per hour.
I'm in central NC and charge $225 for design and drafting.
Just had a plumber come by and charge me $155 per hour.
I was thinking I need to raise my rates!
Careful with reporting 100% utilization rates. My insurance company has advised against it, in their way. You see, nobody is billable 100% of the time. It's not possible. There are a lot of tasks that cannot be billed to a customer but are, nonetheless, required for running a business (even being an employee). So they tend to look a bit more closely when they see utilization rates consistently above 80%...in most cases, that means "unpaid overtime", greater potential for employee burnout, and greater potential for mistakes that can result in a claim.
