Recognizing the likelihood that Clients’ discretionary resources are limited, RDA offers a range of negotiable, sliding-scale fee options including specific services options and clusters services options.
RDA’s compensation options are predicated upon:
RDA’s fees are 30-40% lower than the costs associated with in-house staffing performing the same or similar tasks. Working with RDA frees the Client of the added expenses of benefits packages and site support (e.g., cost/ft2, supplies, utilities, space limitations, etc.)
RDA’s fees reflect current “fair market” values for specified services as measured in various large and medium markets nationally (e.g., Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis/St. Paul, New York, San Francisco, Seattle and St. Louis, etc.).

Commission-based compensation is far more expensive than a “pay as you go” approach and can quickly spiral out of control. For example, whereas an hourly fee allows you to anticipate and control your monthly costs (e.g., $500-$1500/month), a commission-based fee of 10% for a $100,000.00 award necessitates a $10,000 fee. Imagine multiple successful applications at $10,000 each.
