Hi Len, next time we stop over in your neck of the woods I promise to buy you a breakfast; will that be the bacon and egg or sausage and egg McMuffin?
We have a trip down to Woking soon, is that too far away from you? Will be in about 3 weeks time.
Our client has more than doubled in size with just over 100 sites now. We are quoting to do all of their locations once they can give me a few more details. There are approx half of the sites in the London/Home Counties area so we may become regular visitors.
Will probably go TM if we get them all.
Re Carpex; I can't really see us getting over there. If it was closer to home then maybe, but a trip that far without getting paid for it, combined with current workload makes it difficult to justify. (This will be 4th consecutive weekend working.)
Going back to commercial pricing; when given an office block's gross square meter/feet figure around 10% can be deducted as toilets/kitchens so therefore hard floor, plus I estimate that another 15% can be lost through cabinets/desking/inaccesible areas etc and therefore the total area is reduced by around a quarter.
Commercial and domestic are two different markets, I have never wanted to do domestic but may do these that come about through commercial work if I think they are worthwhile.
