 but this job sounds quite unique.

Sounds like brilliant fun. I'd jump at it if it was near me.

Na bit more involved when i say labour i mean groundsman used to charge the man £650-750 a day for 2 men so I was thinking £1000-1200 a day customer not shy of a few quid

If you’re even charging 1K a day for 4 really good cutters I’d be expecting a massive amount of work done. 
 

I know our cutting squad are 900 a day or not far away from that for local work, and I don’t think you’d find much of a better squad around. 
 

So for 2 cutters and 2 ‘laborers’ I’d say that is massively steep.

Thanks everyone im going in for £950 a day for 4x men and chipper it's not local to me 40 mins drive I think that's fair enough gonna go in fell and chip what we can then get digger and grab in towards the end

I assume you have sorted a felling licence as with 2 cutters (again assuming there forestry cutters who crack on)  you will hit the 5 cube threshold by tea break on day 1!

If he had any sense he would have you in on the crew for a couple of days. Only need a 3 man crew then Jake 💪

40 mins isn't local?

 

I kind  of thought under 1hr is "local".

I’d go as far as 90 mins to site was fairly local
