Okay, let’s tackle this. So Dick has 30+ years of experience, which is a significant amount. His experience in construction management, contract management, and financial accounting are all in demand. He was a senior financial systems designer at AT&T, which is a large company. He’s also a licensed general contractor, which adds to his expertise. Location is Hardeeville, SC, which is a smaller market. Considering his experience, skills, and certifications, I would estimate his hourly rate to be around $125. This is slightly below the average rate for experienced construction managers, but his experience in financial accounting and contract management brings his rate up. Some construction managers with similar experience can charge $200-$300 per hour, but Dick’s background in financial accounting and his smaller market location bring his rate down to $125.
