quartz tiles.

[jwatson]

did an insurance job for a contractor last week quartz floor tiles and 20x10 metro brick bond. give him a good price on that and made more off the job he threw my way this week and next.
the customer has had a look as whole house has been vacated, and she loves it and would like to continue the work in to the dining room. as a private job(as not included in insurance.)
i give a good price to the contractor but learned how tough they were to work with and wished i charged more.
i was hoping on getting some advice on pricing about 27m2.
i want to make a decent amount of money as she is clearly impressed with what she has already.
i am trying to build a reputation on good value(not cheap) quality work. and pricing is clearly that crutial piece of the puzzle of the goldylocks pricing(not too cheap or too dear)

any advice thanks will be given.

Make sure your prep is priced separately from the tiling as it sounds like you have a fair bit to do. Also be careful that the contractor doesn't get wind of this work if you are missing him out in the chain, remember, he introduced you to the client and may feel a little miffed if he doesn't get a small piece of the pie for giving you the lead, even if it's only a few quid you offer him, it will ensure that bridges aren't burnt. Just a thought.
