A couple of years ago I phoned an engineer to ask for an approximate cost to look at a minor item on my shop before getting the plans approved. He told me his minimum charge for placing his stamp on anything was $2000.
And all the training he had to acquire to be able to use the stamp.$2000 for a few hours work seems outrageous, but remember, he’s not just selling his time, he’s also selling his liability.
Congrats.Follow-up: Ran all the numbers by the engineer again for the final tub specs since we ended up with a 400-gallon hot tub.
