Better to phone and just ask can you be included in the quotes list.

Just try to judge your time then quote accordingly.

Price per window, well all windows are different , these places arent tight but then again they arent daft neither,

quoting is all about experience and judgement , it isnt something that can be taught.

Post by: Moderator David@stives on October 26, 2007, 10:00:50 pm
£15.00  but adjust according to the feeling of the place, ie do you offer to throw in the frames and signs ?

location is also important is it next to another job ?

can you do it early in the morning etc .
