Andy....
I can't see anything wrong with how you run your business . I know a few tilers that work day rate. on domestic and commercial. For them it's less hassle. They know what there earning each week and that's what suits them.

Cheers Andy, suits me sir

In the words of Alan Partridge, "This is great banter".

ha ha! "Jurassic park!"

 

[JMC tiling]

wasn't a imho post, it was fact
work out a Mt price which is equal to the day rate you would charge and add a % to this to allow for run over, say 30% then if you run over your covered and if you don't you have do well.....
do most of your customer let you do jobs on an open end day rate?

Look at job, work out how many days it will take you, add a day for messing about, give price, job done. IMHO

Add a day is for a full bathroom or large floor, not a 4 mtr kitchen splashback

Add a day for a full bathroom?

Add a day on top of how many days he thinks it will take

went to a job today that I priced, when I got there the builder was still building a wall and putting up architrave, sat back and had tea. ADD a day for messing about.

I have to say, I quite like the style.

 

[Andy Allen]

Not my cup of tea...

 

[Qwerty]

Gives me a headache just looking good at it!!!

 

[martin1c]

Customers wanted random

 

[Qwerty]

Fair enough mate. I have fitted plenty of ghastly looking jobs.....well tiled of course, but bad taste. They like it which is all that matters!

 

[martin1c]

It grew on me in towards the end, (after I'd put the 3800th tile in) but I always like it when people make bold decisions and do something a bit different

 

[GAZ5518]

I always give the customer what they want... Doesn't mean I have to like it!
But that type of random bond can be quite effective ( and forgiving )
We as Tilers have to please all sorts
