arrr , o well

 

[High Peak Tiling]

wow, im well out... I based my pricing on a few things... being a straight job and the rough duration estimate...

 

[High Peak Tiling]

No wonder I was seriously Undercutting

NOT intentional I shall make clear.
No hint or breath of any other quoter till I had put mine in.

I was typing before you put your price on, but I was gonna say Yes, the price is right, you priced it, they said yes, you got the job.
The other guys priced it - they didn't get the job. So they didn't price it right (for this job/customer)

so yours was the right price. For this job/customer.

556/40 = £13.90 pm2 (labour only) = too cheap, maybe

40m2 / 4 days = £139 per day = correct price, maybe

Lost two 40m floors recently quoting around £14pm. NI rates average around £12.

Would be nice getting £1400 for 3 days work though.

..and accountants, bank charges, diesel, tools..etc etc etc, but I guess it's maybe better than sitting at home doing nowt. The danger with pricing low is that the low price can then become the norm and it's a downward spiral from there.

No but he's just pulling his trews back up.

I would have been looking at £1100-£1200 for that and I may have debated over knocking the .6 of a metre for them

 

[High Peak Tiling]

accountant is about 300-400 a year

 

[Martyn Leeds]

depends if the quoter is pricing because he needs to win the work.

12-1400 for Labour only,, for a 'simple straight job' that would take 3-4 days tops?

I say simple straight job lightly, because its only 1 main room with two french doors (reveals-returns), two internal door thresholds, one lobby, one step.

£4459 if I recall correctly...Hey If u need the work and ur happy to do it at that price
then that's what counts...I've been there too ! Just be sure not to under value ur
self/work.
