I would also like to point out that the vast amount of post application work is not about excavation costs but rather evaluation costs and getting them done. Personally I think that all evaluation should be done pre application.you seem a bit confused. rates are what you can get away with charging and continue to do business. they are always yours.
I think that clients are a bit dim if the first time they evaluate their archaeology is post application.
pre determination evaluation should be mandatory but the reason it aint is because developers prefer to have permission and squeeze off the conditions at their leisure
If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about answers
