I no longer give folks a laundry list. I spec. a "System" price and do not provide a breakdown unless paid in advance for the list so at least I get paid for my efforts. When folks whine over the lack of information I over the list at a price and I question their concern [shopping].
I also do not do other folks lists, I insist on an energy analysis [off-grid]. I start fresh with each client, I figure designing to someone else's mistake becomes my own mistake [undersize or over sized design]. I figure that if their integrity sucks now, just wait till later. Also watch out for people who dangle carrots about another system later, these folks have been the biggest nightmares, esp. lawyers who do this. Our Byline is "Responsible systems for Responsible people". Try to keep them responsible.

I hope we don't have to wait 'til oil and coal run out before we tackle that." -Thomas Edison, in conversation with Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone, March 1931
