Ongoing Consulting and Draughting Rates
Ongoing Consulting and Draughting is carried out on an hourly rate, Post-Pay basis. For an order to be treated as for this, specific approval in writing is required by WAI Engineering and it should not be assumed that all ongoing work will be carried out on a post-pay basis.
Drawings, advice and calculations submitted for review will be provided as PDF files only. The PDF files will also be watermarked. Once these electronic review PDF files have been approved, then final PDF and/or original format files (as agreed) will be provided without the watermark. This will only be done once they have been accepted and approved (as appropriate). Their validity and permission to use is conditional on full payment being received.
If drawings are required as DWG and/or DXF files, this must be clearly stated before anything is agreed and before any work has commenced. If DWG or DXF files are required, then the client must provide all symbols libraries, setup templates, layer templates, pen colours:pen width mapping, drawing sheet borders, font files, linetype files, etc. Only information that is provided will be used in preparing the drawings.
Also, the client accepts full responsibility for the interpretation of the drawings, as symbols and standards used may not conform to Australian Standards
Because of now having to work with unfamiliar settings and standards, there is a surcharge applied to the preparation of the drawings.
(Refer to the table below)
Please note that these electronic review PDF files have permission to be annotated. These annotations can be added by programs such as Foxit Reader (www.foxitsoftware.com), or the paid for version of Bluebeam PDF Revue (www.bluebeam.com). Commented PDF files can be e-mailed back with any comments/markups saved to indicate any amendments or revisions to be carried out.
Clients can choose their payment terms, invoicing frequency and deliverables to work out the hourly rates that will apply.
