Day rate consumables

[Cranbrook]

What is the general consensus when it comes to what is classed as consumables when doing jobs on day rate?

 

[WetSaw]

Everything that it consumed on the job, apart from my lunch.
You've paid for drills, cutting discs, spacers etc,etc. You should even make allowances for all the tools you use as they will need maintenance/replacement at some point.

 

[Waluigi]

Add it all up and add a minimum of 20%

 

[Spare Tool]

Ive never put spacers or sponges on an invoice yet, charge for clips though and if I needed a particular size hole saw especially for that job or a specialist blade it would go on the bill..

Has somebody pulled you up on an invoice ?

Has somebody pulled you up on an invoice ?

No, just wanted a general feel for what everyone thinks is reasonable to charge extra for as consumables when working on a day rate..

 

[Flintstone]

In my experience, primer is never provided when adhesive etc is being provided

 

[J Sid]

never done day rate, always a fixed price

 

[Time's Ran Out]

I have a day rate - plus travel time and petrol.
