what is it for to do ps i am aberdeen at uni

[benhudson treeworks]

i charge £900 a day for a 3 man team ?!

[born2trot]

Surely local lads can do this , although its fair dues winning a days work 9 hours drive away . I'm not bitter honest

[smithers1603]

I would say that 300 quid for 2 men, landy & chipper is ok if the work is within 1 hour travel from base, but not to work away. Lads expect a bit more for being away from their wife and kids for a week. Oh yeah1! Its not just for 1 day, theres 3 to 4 weeks work there. Probably would make more sense for you local lads to do the work, there absolutely no way I can do it for 300 quid a day and I,ve not got many overheads.

300 a day is faaaaaaar too cheap, if everyone stuck to there price we'd all be better off, 2 men nearly 14 years ago when I started was going out at £550 a day minimum, these days it's should be the same if not more.

Smithers i absolutely do not want to tread on your toes but you can pm me if you like with any details in stictest confidence.

£300 per day is ridiculous cheap IMO

Fuel and wear and tear could be £50

Overheads= another £50-70(depreciation/office costs/holidays/insurance/h&S crap etc etc

Theres no profit at that level unless your guys work for less than £60 per day

Even then- why bother taking on all that risk for minimal return?

[NI Tree]

some guys fell up here for £12 per tonne to the road there lots people in the woods around here working so then that hits the arb price more as they will do it too
