price per m2 and wastage

[lukeb]

It's not often I charge by the metre but the next time I do I know I'll be charging a bit more!

for 20m2 and 10% waste I will charge for 40m2 and grouting on a day rate at discounted price £199.99 :lol::lol::lol:

I only charge for the area, not waste so 20m2 for me

This is an old thread but a good one,

I would always charge 22m2, extra 10%,

as soon as you have to cut a tile then it takes you longer to cut & fit that tile than it would for you to fit a full tile.

Neither did I at one time Charlie but consider that the waste from a tile needs man handling either from a cut tile or carrying boxes to the area where your working...

I work a job meterage and then day rate plus materials, and see which is the best price for the job, but sounds like my prices m2 have gone up too!!!!
Ta lads!
If it's 20m2 and you say get more for waste the customer often only gets 20 anyway and 'forgets' about the wastage, so why not say 22, no confusion.
I like it.

I normally charge for what is laid if its straight forward job but if there's a lot of cuts and messing about i will charge the 10-15% on top. I'm in the middle of a bathroom at the moment and was that board i counted all the full tiles on the walls 57 and there were 114 cuts and i still got all the bottom to cut in and a load of boxing in to tile, so alot more cuts to do yet

Same here Robson, by default you still have to handle the tile.

If you think about it you should actually charge for handling 22m + time for cuts.

Ever heard of a solicitor or an accountant not charging for 15 mins when doing 2 mins work. When they allocate time it is usually in blocks of 15 mins and thats what the client pays for, unless anyone knows different.
