Cost of Service
A word of caution
- It may be tempting to search for the lowest cost provider
- This may or may not be cost effective in the long run
- It goes back to what you want the consultant to do
In general
- The cost of service is a very small percentage
- Of the cost of the whole project on which they are providing advice
- It doesn't make sense
- To short change on inferior advice
- If the result is a suboptimal project!
Therefore, focus on consultant competence
