I'm getting ready to rehab a 4-Flat in Auburn Gresham so the book will come in handy.

They can be a flat fee, or a fee for service.

Although were I play we are on subdivision lands not meets and bounds.. so its pretty straight forward..and if its really flat with larger than normal lots I just lay those out myself. but this last one I did in Lake Oswego were we had set backs from trees that could not be touched etc I had to be on to the inch.

The law firm charges $250/hr and to set up an LLC they charge a flat rate of $1500......

I even flat out asked at meetings as in "I am looking for a mentor who will work me like a dog."  

There are new flat panel tv's, new electronic door locks, a new ansul system in the restaurant kitchen, 2 new handicap- accessible restrooms in the lobby area, new water saving toilets and smoke detectors, and new wi-fi capabilities throughout the hotel.

Unless your concrete it dead flat you will have hollows under the laminate glued down or not so you would still get sound.

I bought a residential building recently with a flat roof, the roof is around 1400 sq ft.

The market there is just so flat and dead.

That can be a flat fee (and a LOT less than 10% of the budget IMO).
