I'm doubtful that Australian firms can run with so little overhead.
The figure of USD $250,000 presumably includes not only the payroll
taxes and benefits but also the cost of space, equipment, and supervisory
and administrative personell. USD $250K or $USD 1000 per day
is about what the company would charge for the engineer's time.
The marginal cost of adding a single person is probably quite a lot
lower than that.
