How much for standing birch and oak?

[Johnpl315]

Hi,

Looking for any info on price of standing timber? I have the opportunity to cut some birch for firewood, it's small stuff say 5" to 10" diameter fairly good access what's it worth per cubic meter standing?

 

Also, how much for standing oak trees per hoppus foot? Assuming good quality. I have paid around £4 per hoppus foot before for oak that is already felled. There's quite abut of work to fell and delimb a large tree, should ibe offering £2.50 or £3?

Thanks

The standing birch sounds lovely; but what's the volume in the job? The total volume affects the price...

There's not a huge amount, I have no machinery, will be cutting and extracting by hand

0-100m3

100-500m3

500-1000m3

1000+

 

?

 

would be the way I lump them in parcel sizes. Are you bidding against someone with machinery? Processor birch of the sizes you mention is harvester fodder and no hand cutter can ever compete with that unless in the 0-500m3 zone imo.
