What’s the going rate per m2 for dab, float and skim at the moment?
got a right pig of a job to price and it’s gonna have to be ppm2 to get it right.

Surely a pig of a job requires anything but ppm2 to get right? Ppm2 on average works out as some easy job some more awkward. For a one off s**t job though just price it on what it's worth

I agree but I meant a pig of a job to price as it’s a listed building and at the moment they’re not sure how much is gonna be dabbed and how much is floated yet

Why on earth are they dabbing a listed building. Surely it's down for lime ??

 

[Brimstone]

So they are going to have to make decisions on the hoof, unlikely to be any long runs or big areas in one go, and quite possibly lost time standing around. Price it for small areas at a time and include a downtime provisional rate for when your are waiting on trades or decisions etc. Downtime Hourly might seem a bit mean but you could give a1/2 day rate or state it doesnt cut in for the the first say 2-3 hours.

And ewi does anyone know roughly how much Weber xm works out a m2 for materials

i would put in a day work rate, £250 per man per day , a day is from 8 am to 3 pm. if you quote per m sq there will only be 1 looser, you.

ask your weber supplier. don't forget to put 25% on top.

It’s dabbing where they have blocked off doorways. Then they’ve found that some clever c**t has bonded and skimmed over original tiles so they’re not sure if they can just dab these areas at the moment

I have been on site today and there are some decent areas to go at. I would add into the m2 price for dead time and parking unloading etc. Just wondered what the standard rates are

no such thing as standard mate
location, areas to go at, logistics, time of year, distance to/from greggs
many variables !!!
hefty day rate is the way forward

Every site I've worked on in the last 30 years they have told us the price we either accept or walk!

Do you meant site or just some poxy refurb job for a builder etc

This is why I’m asking what people are working with atm. Haven’t done per meter work for a long time, I know it’s variable but honestly haven’t got a clue where to start

I think your going about this the wrong way tbh.

If theve asked you to tender & you dont feel comfy that it will work well on m2 then work it as completed phases or day rate.

So much work around at the moment this is a day work job...£250 per man minimum...push for higher.

I did walk round mate, it’s impossible to give a total price at the moment

Tomayto tomato.

To me a building site rises out of the ground and a refurb is an existing structure however big it is or however many men.

Awesome looking job though mate.
