Stupid question- how long would this job take ?

Hi guys I recently set up my own thing. And had a small & slightly strange request from a client.

They want a playbook/ manual designing up. They have the copy (2000words) and existing design guidelines. So basically its just putting these elements together.

I was thinking two check ins/ rounds of amends.

As a designer how long do you reckon is fair to scope this for? What would you say in terms of timelines.?

Do you have any other projects going on? Have you seen the brand guidelines? What’s the final deliverable? Will they need to be able to edit content afterwards? If it’s 2000 words, maybe 4 pages without design, how many with design? 6-8? I usually quote 2 hours per page depending on how different the layout is on each. Even then I would bake in time for iterations. If a client approached me I would quote a 2-week turn around but that’s because I have multiple clients and bake in time for all stakeholders to review. Hopefully this helps.

Price the client. Not the job. Will this project result in increased revenue for them? Can they afford something elaborate? Have you asked them what their budget is?
