Contract Positions
Rates are charged on an hourly basis, much like those for an attorney or accountant. Like an attorney or accountant, quotes or estimates can be provided without a detailed prior consultation for very simple tasks (like an accountant might do to file a simple tax form). However, because technology systems can be incredibly complex, quotes and estimates are provided in only special cases and only after producing a detailed Project Plan.
Project Plans
Here is a sample Project Plan. It offers a detailed data flow with estimates for the supporting pieces. This plan took 3 days to do the interviews and estimate (which the client paid for) and the results were excellent. Project Plans are an important first step to achieve any kind of accuracy in the work that will be performed later.
Going forward, the Project Plan forms a basis for the documentation, providing the client with knowledge on how to make changes and maintain the systems. Click for a Sample Project Design Plan.
Estimates
Estimates are provided much as an architect creates a drawing for a building. The architect's client purchases this "design", and is welcome to shop for bids from building contractors. Much like the architect, there is no prior commitment to implement the design. The estimates and assumptions are realistic. There's no "bait and switch" with subsequent surprise budget changes.
"Simple", "Easy", or "Quick" Projects
If your project is "Simple", "Easy", or "Quick", I can refer you to someone who specializes in those types of projects. Because of my background, I prefer projects that are too difficult for your average contractor.
Out-of-Area Contracts
Contracts out-of-area with companies equipped to handle telecommuting are welcome.

Travel and accommodation expenses are billed at reasonable and actual rates.
