priceing job

[kevmc]

got a job to price up patching round window and door reviels render and dash 40 houses dont really know where to come in at . i dont normally do patchup jobs but its for a good client any ideas ?

Sub it.

 

[essexandy]

If he's going to sub it he still needs to know how to price it, and if he needs the work why not do it.

 

[carlos]

work out how long it will take you and go from there plus mats plus any towers etc needed.
I for one wont do patching on a metre rate.

 

[bodplasterer]

Sounds like a nightmare job :-\ but like carlos said work out how long it will take and what ever is needed and times that by 40 you got it sorted then sub it ;D

 

[kevmc]

think i will just sub it out not worth the hassle just trying to keep customer happy

Personaly i think if you get the price right its a nice easy number, easier than whacking the metres on.

I can't stand patching jobs but seem to do loads. Rather bang off a whole wall and float it again than patch the blown 2 m2 in the middle.
