Limestone job?

[jonnyc]

£35 per m for fitting the stone and £5 per m for the ditra so, £6800 total.

Bri you haven't added on the hole drilling and fixing of staircase.think you are probably right about labour fix cost but I would charge a bit more for fixing ditra even down west plus Adair labour and holes

So I didn't get the job. Best price he got £24m2 :yikes:

Your kidding!!!! Price led customer, your probably better off without it TBH mate if thats how he works.

Tell me about it mate. I couldn't believe it, apparently the people doing it are a shop fitting company.

Bet they don't do the staircase or ditra in with that!

Happy Sunday people,

I've been to look at a job this weekend, bit of a jump in what I'm used to but really excited at the opportunity hence why I'm after some help.

The job is a huge farmhouse. 170m2 of 600x750x20 limestone

But really it's not always just about price!
When customers are spending this amount of money it shouldnt be about getting the cheapest price. It's having confidence that who they get will do a good job. They get estimates to judge the tradesman as much as seeing how much it will cost and unless you are experienced or a good salesman you are may lose out!
Although the price you quoted is extremely competitive, for 170 m it is doable. They may not have the overheads some of us have, they may have a 'window' to fit it in, or they may just be big enough to take on large contracts and complete them in a week.
The only time anyone knows if it's vslue for money is if the customer is happy and they stay down !
In the end it's good experience and puts you in a better position the next time.
Happy Thursday .

I don't think they'll be getting bull noses on the stair case, or any polishing on the edges at all, for that matter. Their loss mate...
