[TheForge] Question...

[The Millers]

Andy,
That's a tough one. I have everywhere from as low as .5% to as high as 
1.5% and everywhere in between.

The variables are the obvious, how many lineal feet per house, how 
detailed a design, etc.

I think you would be far better off quoting on a per foot basis. I know 
all the big commercial shops around here like Stewart do not quote 
except by the lineal foot.
