mosaic pricing

[bigneil]

Hi all, long time since I last posted.

I have lost touch a bit with prices. What is the going rate for mosaic tiling per square meter?

I live in the north of Scotland and the job is for a small contractor.

I have worked for him in the past, he trusts me to do a decent job and didn't even ask for a price before I started, the job is almost complete now.

I just sat down to make up a bill, and I have no idea where to start.

Here is a couple of quick snaps I took on my mobile.

Well done but we dont discuss pricing in the open forums.

Moved to job pricing forum.

Thanks for your comments guys.

I apologize....I didn't realize that we didn't discuss price openly.

P.S Thanks for shifting it to a more appropriate forum.

I'd say you'd have to price on day rate.
Good work bud!

hmm. ok lol I haven't worked on a day rate for years... does £150 A day sound reasonable .... plus fuel and materials.


I did it in 7 days working from 8 till 8 every night... that makes £1050 at 150 per day. I might put it on at like 50 per meter that comes out at 1200 plus materials....does that sound too high to you guys??

Sounds more than fair.

 

[macten]

Very fair - I'd say a bargain!
Remember that 7 12 hour days is more like 11 days labour

i would say that was way to high a price for fix -only did you supple and fix materials as well ?
