I've got to draw a house plan based upon this very rudimentary sketch from a customer

wow, that's pretty terrible. Really hard to design without having a proportionate sketch first. Back when I did a lot of home plans for classes, my mom sketched out a house, and put measurements for all the rooms and asked me to draw it up. When she got it back, she was all "this isn't what I sketched at all, it's all lopsided!" - seems she didn't realize how bad her proportions were.
So while they may think this house is 2500 sq ft on their grid paper it's actually 2800 when you put walls in.
That's about a $30-40k difference. So next time I'll be reducing it to fit their budget.
Then they'll feel they can't get what they want with their budget and give up. So I'll have two plans and about 20 hours worth of work down the tubes.

BTW Gary remember the flooding issue I had a few weeks back? Insurance wants to give me 4k to have all the drywall patched, the sinks put back in, etc. I got two quotes from some contractors. One said $7k and the other said $7.5k. Why must insurance low ball so much? lol

Because insurance guys drive Priuses, contractors drive Raptors.

It's true Adrian my contractor drove a Raptor. He was a good guy too. Never graduated high school but worked hard and started his own business.
And Charlie, my insurance guy drove a Scion xB so you were close!

Just present your quotes to them and if need be get a third one.
Just keep after them.
