More pricing questions.

Just started offering a mobile firewood processing service, foolishly thought this sort of work would be simple :001_rolleyes:.

Got asked to come and look at a job where there is some brush cutting and small scrub clearance combined with some basic tree felling and then processing this wood and stacking in shed. Only used to doing this sort of work on the farm and not sure what a customer would expect from a quote. My intention was to price for all clearance work and charge separately per m3 of logs processed as the client is not sure how many trees they want taking down until seeing how it looks. Reasonably happy with pricing up the clearance work but unsure what to charge for converting standing trees into a stacked pile of logs. Was thinking of £45 per m3 including clearing all brash. Is this in the right ballpark? The wood is all suitable for going through the processor so conversion should be straight forward.

 

Thanks :thumbup:

 

Edit. To add to the possible complication there is an offer of being payed in standing timber as they also have some woodland that needs thinning.

I don't think they will take the P but can't be sure. I reckon if he sees us work he will be happy for us to work on an hourly rate it's just getting our foot in the door without leaving us out of pocket to start with.

 

Make sure the inevitable "can you just..." is firmly managed. Saying no due to "other commitments" and explaining why a day rate would have been much more flexible might be a good way to set the scene for the next visit.
