How long would it take? Always price on time, far more accurate way to do it

Hard to tell to be honest i havent done a job that big before but ive guessed 1-2 days on my own.......
i know the previous guys knocked it out in about 3 hours but there were at least 3 of them doing it, im also anticipating it being a bit of a nightmare WFP on the old windows so may have to go over some a couple of times ???

If it's 250 panes of glass then you've priced it well I'd say. If it's 250 window units I reckon you're in for one he'll of a grind.

So that is at least 9 man hours it took the previous lot, plus their travel time, remembering that after 3 hours they will be working faster than you would be after 6 hours. If you think 2 days to do, you may have shot yourself in the foot here.....£142.50 day rate :)

Thanks for your replies sounds like i have slightly underpriced it which is what i was hoping as it is just round the corner from me and want to get the job  ;)
