Pricing work???

[Mesterh]

What if they say a quid

 

That only ever happened once, took a 80ft black pop down for free

Will never happen again though I've set a minimum fee of £1.50 Always thinking you see.

Were are you based tree hunter nice to know who the competition is.

 

 

 

Dont see it as competition, one day we might be throwing each other work..........

workout what you are happy to earn in a day, calculate time it will take and go from there. if its tricky charge more.

[tilly]

You first need to work out "your" overheads, what it costs you to trade, equipment, rent, fuel, wages, insurance, depreciation, servicing, etc etc.

 

Divide that up by the amount of days you work per year and then add on what wage you need to make.

 

I price jobs by the hour, work out how many hours it's going to me then add on any taxes, ie dog shite tax, long drag tax etc

 

i like that one:laugh1::laugh1:

Seems a bit unfair to me,and is it legal? I would never ask the lowest price.

Me neither, dont think its illegal tho. I dont really care what others charge for a job, just work out the costs incurred, add a % to make a profit.

[The Tree Hunter]

I dont think cheaper always gets the job, i've put in quotes for jobs, to find they've gone with someone who's charged more, guess some people feel they're getting more for their money!!!!

If your taking about what I said then I think you dont know what sarcasim is

 

I very much doubt that it is illegal to ask what what other competitors quotes are.

 

I never do that anyway doesnt give a good impression to the customer I think.

 

You need to do what Dean says, work out your overheads etc then the most important bit of working out how long the job will take, thats the hardest bit.

Well it is if you have a lot of competition otherwise charge what you like

Sorry,its difficult to see sarcasm in text,my apologies.
