quick approval for job price

[MrSpoon]

ah well 30% is what i meant then
top be honest i wont be able to start the job for a couple of weeks anyway so hopefully my UTR will be with me and ready to use.

it might take me more than 5 days, ah well, time will tell

Whatever time it takes you Spoon, the experiance of it is what counts for now, not the money, and you'll most probably find as you go through from apartment to apartment you'll end up knocking a couple of days off each apartment by the time you get to the 6th or 7th one anyway.

How come you are supplying tiles and materials though, as developers generally buy these in and get their own discounts and they only need to source labour for the fitting ?

Also, how did you come across this job ? , you know the developers or something ?

hi I would be charging £30 m2 for porce take it or leave it yes there is a chance off 24 more jobs or is they , dont sell ya self cheep , i charge £130 per day if it locial if not then they coff up for the petrol

 

[MrSpoon]

only the floor tiles are porcelain, wall tiles are ceramics, tho i was under the impression they were all porcelain.

an old mate of mine works for the company as a quantity surveyor, he basically asked me to come and measure up and give a quote, his boss doesnt know he knows me and its all kept proffesional, they thought about buying in their own materials but the guy in charge doesnt seem to want the hassle of having to go out looking for tiles and deciding which to have, so hes after a tiler who can do all the work for him i guess!

well anyway, i went and spoke to them and hes impressed with my efforts, and pretty much gave me the job straight away for this particular apparment that needs doing, so all being well ill get the rest of them too :yes: just provided them with my level 2 aset certificate which i obtained from north east tile training and ill also be providing them with a reference

 

[Fekin]

So they know your a new guy, they know it's your first job or not ?

So if your supplying tiles, they said roughly what they want then ?

 

[MrSpoon]

no they dont think im new and dont think its my first job, they said they want tiles around the £15m2 range

 

[Fekin]

no they dont think im new and dont think its my first job, they said they want tiles around the £15m2 range

heh, so your an interior designer for them too, stick on a few quid for n all

 

[MrSpoon]

hmm feels like it at the mo, cant say ill be interested in shopping for tiles for others anytime soon, least it'll get the ball rolling :yes:

 

[Fekin]

Yeah, they sound a bit wierd not giving you any specs, just how much they want to spend on them :lol:

 

[MrSpoon]

well i had more specs than that... they wanted tiles similar to these

----
they also want me to get a price for using them same tiles

 

[Fekin]

That's better then if you have something to go with

 

[MrSpoon]

even better if he made his mind up and told me which tiles to put where

 

[muffinman]

ya still looking at £30 m2 ceramic or porce ask the guys on here what they charge , ya got to ask your self how many m2 you can lay in a day , can you make a profit, ie more then your day rate , are you charging them for the shopping of the tiles (its your time) time is money ,
Best of luck with the job

 

[Olz]

If you do get the job mate, you'll be able to buy that last square meter of carpet tiles, missing from your picture :lol: :lol: :lol:

mr spoon i do alot of commercial work and i do walls for 18 m2 i did try 20 but they werent havin it depends where in the country u are the building firm who i do work for think im expensive but caus they know im a decent tiler.

my advice is stay at 18m2 if they like your work then push for more money trust me if they dont like you they ll kick you off the job

start at 18 then try for more worth a try
