i have been giving an opportunity to tile a large number of bathrooms walls and floors through a family member friend. He has asked if i would be able to quote him on the job as he is asking a couple of others.
how do i go about doing this? large budget has been set £**,***

1. do i quote on individual bathrooms or as a job lot.dont know yet if all bathrooms are same size or what tile type wanted
2. do i ask to get paid after each one?(dont want to be caught out like fred)

all help will be most welcome before i see the man in question.if i get job might have to sub contract if there is a completion date.
 
The 1st 3,000 Mt2 Plus job, I ran someone asked me,( sarcastically," have you never been on a big job" I replied no but I've been on two small ones.:lol:
 
tbaysaint,
Doing multiple rooms can be a nightmare.
I did multiple rooms kitchens/bathrooms/wc’s in different blocks/buildings on a new build site. Each house was a town house (3 floors!) I spent at least 2 hours a day moving my gear around and looking for halogen lights that mysteriously disappeared overnight. It was a nightmare.

I also did a kitchen/bathroom/en-suite in another town house (private job). Again, that was a nightmare because while addy was drying in one room I would start on another room. I found myself 3 days later with no room finished. I thought it would be easy doing 3 rooms in one house – how wrong was I.

You have been tiling for about 2 months. Personally I think you may have had a lucky escape. If you could get some work on a building site for a couple of months, but think of it as an extension to your training course. You could practice cuts & setting out all day long.....and get paid for it !

Good luck
Sean
