Charge for studio design

I've recently been contacted by someone who wants me to design the acoustics and gear spec for a studio.
I have experience in the field but it's not something I've ever done for a stand alone fee, it's either been part of an existing job, or for a favour. As a result, I haven't the slightest idea what sort of money to charge for the service!
It's a relatively small studio + rehearsal room setup, looking to charge around £20/hr, so we're not talking fortunes for incredibly fancy acoustics - just some basic treatment and construction to get a decent enough couple of rooms, as the competition at this price level usually doesn't bother with anything at all! I'll also be staying on at the facility as the main engineer, the owner is setting it up to work with his record label.
Anyone have any thoughts how much I should ask for? Don't want to undersell, but don't want to scare him off either :-)
Thanks

Neil
