Remuneration Presentations (Feedback)

Suprematist Architecture Presentation

The presentation overall was excellent. Both speakers spoke very clearly and relied on no script or reading from the power point. They also continuously interacted with their presentation when required which boosted their presentation as well.

The presentation clearly explained a comparison between the remuneration attributes of a freelance architect versus a normal 'cubicle/office' architect. They listed helpful pro's and con's between the two which included:

Freelance:
-more freedom
-no small fish in a big fish environment
-get to work your own hours
- have to chase up invoices instead of being paid automatically like a office architect job

There was also discussion on the value of remuneration and what affects it which included your level of experience, business  size, industry standards, the complexity of the job, the job position as well as the location of the particular job.

An example breakdown of how remuneration could work was also included which was helpful in shedding light on some of the expectations to have when deciding how much you should charge. An important takeaway that I noted was to charge the client as you go instead of receiving one lump sum payment at the end. So instead of waiting 2 months for the project to be finished and  getting one large sum at the end, it would be more feasible to charge 25% for a particular task when it was completed, and another 15% when another task was completed and so on up until the conclusion of the project.
