What do you recon of this?

[Orchard gm]

There's always debate on price and this is the latest. I reckon you have put a day or so on this and priced it accordingly, your competitor reckons they can knock it off in a morning leaving another job in the arvo.

He was possibly a bit hungrier. 'Tis cheap but there you go.

Anyway what do you mean "approx"?[/quote

 

When I said approx £420 she was pushing for a price before I left so I said approx £420. I have since emailed saying it would be that price.

Job to tell accurately from the pic but my inclination would be to say £250 - £270 and a morning is all it would take . Chipper right close to the action . Looks like you could fell it toward the camera even ??

Sounds like you wasted your time anyway.

On these little jobs I always just figure out the price on the spot, write it out in a duplicate book, rip out a copy and hand it to them.

Obviously on bigger more complex ones you need a bit of thinking time.

Anyhow good luck on the next one:001_smile:

Christ if that's a few hours work am in the wrong trade!!!

Surly though, a job is a job if you are fast, efficient and productive and you can do it in 2 hours or a morning your at benefit as you can charge the price in relation to tree size and situation etc?

I worked in a vw dealer as a mechanic, we had to work to 120% efficiency therefor if vw said a service takes 2 hours and I did it in 1 they still charge the customer for 2.

You may have a 3 or 4 man team therefor you will get it done in no time but then you got more wages to pay!!

Sorry I know it's hard to see pic properly but the stem is on the other side of the wall it leans over the wall into the lane so no felling.

I would be looking at an easy morning provided onsite looks as the pics do..

£280.00

As has been said, mornings work, all depends on that phone line.

[mendiplogs]

Went to give a price for the complete removal of this!

After realising a phone line runs through it I told her it would be approx £420 chipped up and taken away stump left 50mm above ground, she then went on to say she had a price of £250 of someone!

Do you all think am miles away or is that about right? [ATTACH]133849[/ATTACH]
