Specing up work!
Thanks for all the advice and listing your concerns.. I actually put off sending over a quote and raised a lot of the issues you have flagged with the Director. I explained that I would at least be charging 130% and would break down the work into smaller manageable chunks, over a few week and a...- DadSoftware

Specing up work!
Agreed... not been contracting very long so huge learning curve for me to get over quickly! :grin I was thinking of something simple where I would offer one month after all the deliverables have been hit, where I address bugs, User Acceptances Testing and train their permie developers on the...- DadSoftware

Specing up work!
Thanks for the feedback and your other post - great info! I completely understand where your coming from, and any other situation I would take that advice.

I agree that the director is looking for the cheapest he can get me! He'd be hard pushed to get me any cheaper than my current day rate as not on very much right now. I do think he's trying to get me on a Fixed Price as to okay the project from the Parent Company. Since my last post he has...- DadSoftware

Thanks mdhd... I'm thinking of adding this to the User Acceptance Testing in regards to bugs and issues, which I will given them a fixed term of one month.

Specing up work!
I'm a newbie contractor and been doing at it for only four months. I'm directly contracting with the client and no agency is involved. My job currently involves clearing a backlog of bugs, nothing too exciting there! The company I'm working for is in the same sector that I have worked in for...- DadSoftware
