Hi people I need a little help I'm a free lance climber and I have just got a large job in my village doing various jobs, what day rate would be fair for me and a groundsman no chipper and truck needed. I want to earn money from this but I don't want tobe to dear and lose work in the village. Does £250 a day sound to cheap or fair?

 

sounds very fair to me

Posted

A grand total of £15.60 per hour per man ?

 

Assuming the job doesn't run over or they don't expect too much out of you.

 

Not taking into account

 

Insurance

Lunch

Petrol

Chains

Chain oil

Travel costs

Vehicle insurance

Wear and tear on kit, saws transport vehicle

 

Then knock off 20% tax

What sort of figure would you say then? cheers

I,d say £300 minimum is a very fair figure.

 

One thing that joe public doesn't realise is the cost of our "tackle"

 

Just because the waste is not being removed doesn't make your chainsaw trouser cheaper, boots cheaper, insurance, advertising, accountancy....... :001_smile:

 

The only thing that is factored out is the chipper cost and if the chipper was on site I would be charging a minimum of £30 per hour per man
