Hi All, I just acquired my LEED AP credential and am in the process of adding LEED certification consulting to my areas of services offered. I'm wondering if anyone is aware of a good, comprehensive article on how to charge for these services as well as any pertinent disclaimers or things to be aware of. Thank You

Hi Phil,You mention having earned your AP credential (congratulations!), but you don't say how much experience you have with taking projects through the LEED certification process. My sense is that you should have completed the process on at least a project or two (and ideally more than that) before you're really qualified to advise others on how to successfully navigate it. Also, once you've done that (assuming that you haven't already) you'll have a good sense of how much work is involved, and how much effort you can save your clients, which then becomes the driver for how you set your fees.
