Pricing a job

[Time's Ran Out]

Ben - you've been on the job for over 3 weeks and there is still a little bit to do.
Your using cheap gear and its tile on tiles with a 40x25cm tile but that's not your problem!:yikes:
Your problem may be around the corner when you try to get paid.
IMO you should have agreed a rate before you started to tile - because if everything is on the cheap you wont get £25 for fixing.
Even at that rate for 4 weeks work you will get £80 per day maximum - are you on the cards with this Co. or are you self employed?
Good luck with the payment.

I am self employed,but good friends with the company i`m working for,so no problem with getting paid or with any comebacks,im just fixing guv! I have raised my concerns before about using cheap products etc.I just bill them at the end of job but yes we should have agreed a price before but they trust me and i have worked on a few jobs in the past on day rate.

you should always get your price clear before starting

they could pay you a tenner a m2 and you would have to swallow it

If you've had nightmare backgrounds and loads of raking cuts and trim, you want to be looking at a day rate mate - forget bonus work work out a sensible hourly rate and multiply it by how long you've been there, that's what would be fair IMHO
You might want to do that divide it by 65m2 which will give you your m2 rate - when you have, stick a post on this thread with what it worked out at - you'll get a few :yikes: and a few :lol:
