BQ - do clients still pay extra for them?

Ours do, but most don't realise and pay a fixed fee. Usually make a huge margin on them.

I suppose is slightly better than those clients who pay for a cost plan/feasibility, and then spend the next 600 days asking you to do 'small' amendments for no extra fee. Most of the BQs I've done seem to be final and require no further work.

I thought he was taking the piss and making a BQ/BJ joke...

taking off sucks even moreso than being seconded to another office because they can't keep hold of their staff

I've just been offered a staff job with my client. How does a 60% drop in pay sound??

I haven't decided yet...

how does it sound?

like a kick in the stones to me

Yes I think I'll stay as a consultant thanks very much.
