I may have a big job coming up - its too far for us but for anyone local to it then it would be a fantastic job.
I'm not giving anything away just yet but the job takes 115hrs per month.
If I was subbing it out how much would it cost per month?
serious replies please, this is a large commercial job.
-
£3000 to £3500 in my opinion(for what thats worth)
-
£3500. Where are you?
-
thanks mate.
it would probably suit an employer better than a one or two man show as the working hrs are quite restrictive. It has to be done early morning although its a constant job, not a one off.
how much would you want sheepmeister?
-
£3500. Where are you?
lincolnshire, why?
-
I'd want £2500.00 - £3000.00 for that sort of work. I take it its WFP?
-
if you were paying staff 115hrs @ £10 an hr + costs
= £1150/month + costs.
does that sound reasonable?
I understand you would need to make a profit on it but assuming costs of max £500 per month then £1650/month plus whatever you need for a profit.
most of the work is inside, trad, a little work outside with wfp.

Me? A lot of money... well, about £3500 if I had the man power. Just over £30 an hour. Like you say, it would suit an employer, which I'm not as yet.

£5,600 minimum charge ;D
-
ok jonah!
you cannot be serious?
-
Keep me in mind Alan please.
Chris.
-
Alan, whereabouts is the job?
-
I'm not giving anymore away until I get confirmation, I don't want to raise anybody's expectations.
-
ok jonah!

Allan,
just a general observation if you aint got the job how do you know it takes 115 hours per month?

Im guessing that my price came in too high but if you are going to pay someone £10/hour and have them out in a fully kitted up van then they need to be generating at the very least £20/hour (£2300 total cost for 115 hours) £25/hour would be better(£2875 total) or £30 top end for an employee (£3450 total). If you couldn't get any of these prices for commercial work you may as well have them on domestic work. These no point employing someone if they don't earn you money, i learnt this the hard way.

Am I too Dear ? Honestly I am quoting for jobs , but if you guys think I am over the top please tell me now , and I maybe get at least one ! LOL ;D

Is that we are both skint ? ;D

I know it takes 115hrs because I may be taking it over from another firm who have told me it takes that long, they quoted £1400 for it and are giving it up.
I'm not sure whether our quote has been accepted or not.

Mail sent ;)

i take it you mean 115 man hours. so if you had 2 men on the job it would take 57.5 hours. sorry i'm lazy and can't be arsed to read the whole post!! ;D ;D
what ever way round it was i would be heading for £5750 minimum but trying to push higher. i wouldn't even touch it for anything less than 5750 and would make more money on domestics. commercial is suppose to be the cream and i really wouldn't bother with it otherwise

i could have 1 person out earning £50 per hour on houses mate so why would i want to take anything less on commercial? i have commercial that earns far over that.
-

-
i would say no less than £2500 but more like £3500, you prob want to make 20% at least alan

Maybe so... but to get 115 hours of £50 an hour domestic work would be pretty difficult all at once... not to mention fuel bills for running around between houses, chasing the money etc.... if you charge 115 hours of commercial out at £30 an hour, the client is getting good economy of scale, and you are getting £3500 for one job, which gets paid all at once... seems pretty reasonable :)
