Big beech takedown

If your companys got a 7.5t tipper, 18t grab wagon, a climber and 2 groundies, 1 day, £1250+ plus 50t crane cost (to make things easy )

I could do it for nothing and bake them a cake as option 2

My plan of attack would be to strip and chip by 1pm and then section and lower the limbs in the afternoon.

 

Day 2 would be ringing up the butt and a good rake round and tidy up finishing around 4.

 

Down here a job like that COULD range in price from £800 to £1800 depending on the experience or lack of it of the person quoting.

With Tom D's well observed correction....

 

 

 

No one is saying it can't be done in a day with the right guys and equipment' date=' Hama.

 

However, if you have estimated that this operation requires the resources and set up involving four staff and three vehicles to run and maintain, then £1000 plus vat is way too cheap, IMO.[/quote']

 

I did not say the job wasnt worth more, im saying what we would be doing in the current climate, 18 months ago, we might have put a day and a half on it and taken our time, relaxed about it.

 

At the moment however...

 

besides like has been said were all just talking, and its alll ALL irrelevent because NO one of us would price a job on photos, it would be suicide!

 

were just having friday night bottle of red induced fun:thumbup:

to be frank, if your asking these kind of questions maybe you should leave the job to a professional tree surgery company.

Nice strategy stephen:thumbup1:

 

I do similar. I also use a similar strategy for inspections. For an arborists report I slow to 40mph, for a full inspection I wind down the window then check the binoculars were in the glove box! :lol:

A last, someone said it. Well done.

 

That's the quote that's been obvious since the thread was started.
