Square meter price

lets try to put it a better way if we had to tile on a price would the slow tilers survive if not would it be better for the ones that would be left

Bri I agree this should be in arms. Just got a bit carried away with some of the figures being talked about.

very rarely do day rates , only when cant earn on price

 

[Gazzer]

so if you get £150 a day and i can do twice as much Neale can i charge £300 a day which is my point or are some slow tilers charging to much like daywork?

If that £150 a day equates fairly to a m2 rate then yes fine. Its very rare for me to charge by a day rate but sometimes it has to be that way and I have set minimum rates.

I work on price pjc,never price per
Mtre unless its a large area with nothing in the way!! I've seen a lot of so called fast tilers work and its ruff.! IMO,not a lot of tilers prime/tank out/Silicon up or clean up properly! This all makes for a good job and takes time!! So for me it's all about what your worth.I'm not the cheapest tiler but I'm very busy at the mo...! There is a lot of cheap! Tilers near me with no work?? Quality not quantity for me!!

I do everything by the metre. Most of the time it's commercial work and as a subby you're told what the price is. if I'm doing domestic work I still price per m2 but obviously a lot higher to take into account the extra time involved producing a first class domestic job.

Usually price a job by the metre, then think about how many days it'll take. If it's too low then I'll adjust accordingly, and if it's too high then that's just a bonus. :lol:

Prices here are terrible but just have to get on with it.

 

[Bubblecraft]

I always charge by the metre. Minimum set charge up to 4m2. Probably wouldn't if I were just a tiler. As I'm doing the rest like the plumbing, electrics, joinery, plastering & decorating, it works out for me doing per metre.

we are lucky here which is my point

I can always tell when a man is on day works, and another is on price. The day works are the ones who take 4 breaks a day, the ones on price take one break in the morning and a cup of tea in the afternoon.

[cam_low]

i eat on the job have no breaks unless im waiting on primer drying and the customer is a godsend if they bring me cuppas on the hour !

 

[Spud]

some tilers are snails pace even when on price and earn very little others are very quick and turn out nice work as Lynn says you can tell the hungry ones who want to work hard to make money over and above their usual daily rate of pay and there are some who look forward to being placed on dayrate as its soft money to them which they would never make if on price

LOL, you got the wrong guys then Lynn, I take a break IF and when I can, that's regardless of day rates or price work, I just graft rrr: :lol:

And when I say a break, apart from a bite to eat, any drink is drank working, if site rules allow.

I've just turned down a few weeks work in London as it's all day rate. There is some serious meterage to be done too. I think it's taking the you know what expecting people to lay big floors on day work, the main contractor would be making a fortune off the back of it!
