Imagine going to a restaurant and asking for a breakdown of ingredients and labor before you buy? It sounds like he wants it done soonest, so maybe just tell him, “we’ve taken on a big job and can’t take on new work right now.” Oh, and add a line in your estimate something like: Our business model does not offer a breakdown of fees as we offer an overall value to our clients… or something like that.
