900 x 900 tiles

[baht'at]

Hi all
I have been asked to quote for 57m2 of 900 x 900 floor tiles.
I just need some advice as I normally work on my own but for this size of tile it's going to take two of us to handle them, so what I'd like to know if any one is willing to share is how they Price up for a Two Man job.

Do you not have a labourer that you call in on for this sort of thing? Then pay them a day rate, and include that in your charge to the customer X how ever many days the job is going to take.

Thanks Dan for your speedy response.
Never needed a labourer before as normally just plodded along on my own as never been asked to lay anything as large as these.
What I think I'll have to do is ask in my suppliers if they know of any one that might be interested .
I was just trying to find out if other people just added extra to the meterage

Don't be shy of the job mate. Get a friend of the family to help you out carrying them. Must be somebody?

Then checkout some lash clips (the wedge type are apparently the easiest and most economical) - and obviously prep your floor really well first.

Price-wise, don't see yourself short. 2 men per day multiplied by the amount of days you think it'll take. Do it daily rate or whatever. And say to the customer the price is an estimate and your daily rate is shown on the estimate (stick it in writing and get them to sign it if they accept it).

Bloody good job though that mate.

That should leave plenty of meat on the bone for you and a labourer. ..

What's a back back..lol

 

[White Room]

Probably a hunch back

 

[Dan]

Like when you go out out instead of just out. It's a back back, not just a normal back.

 

[Dave]

So a back back isn't a duck with a lisp
