day rate

[treequip]

For £200 a day I provide my own bacon and Brie sarnies with Jaffa cakes to go with my thermos of espresso. That would be nice if I actually did have that but I would never have time to eat them.

 

I would go bre and black grape with fresh filter coffee courtesy of my jet boil.

 

And the rate would be a shade under the £200:laugh1:

The guy I use for climbing is on €300 a day. He brings his own gear and his own lunch.

[Mr. Squirrel]

If they can get the people they need for the rates they are paying why would they want to pay more?

 

You would need to be increasing the productivity and profit for it to be in their interests to pay you more.

 

That's exactly it I'd say, as in any situation you get what you pay for. I've worked plenty for £120 a day, but on that rate I don't get near as much done as when I'm charging 300+ euros. It's never as though I'm slacking but if I'm gonna charge that much I'm gonna to make damn sure I'm worth it...

I bring my own lunch, coffee, tobacco and usually a few beers for the guys when the job is done. Kit? Oh yeah...

End of the day I think you should be asking for what ever you want? It has to stay realistic as you want the work but using all your own gear and your experience comes with a price.

 

Good luck.

Saying all that however, it's probably a poor scheme to hire people based on what they say about their productivity, on the internet...

Basically just charge as much as you can so long as it keeps you busy. Nothing wrong with getting a foot in the door with a company and then if you think you're making the boss a little too much money saying 'hey, how about a little bit more for me eh?'

Thanks for the replies and feed back guys, a lot of companies around my way seem to be stuck in the past money wise!

As a business your not going to give your money away, but when you get paid the same as several years ago it would be nice if they paid a bit more. Especially considering the thousands spent on courses and kit. I bet companies are charging more than year ago

 

In ref to your post in the employment section:

I don't think it's the employers content with paying £100 it's the climbers happy to climb for that

[Billy]

Charge what you're worth, as an employer I'd happily pay the top end of the scale for someone who will come and get a big job done in good time, rather than signing claiming it's not feasible in the time etc etc. I had a guy last year who would kick off when presented with a half decent sized tree/job, it's a real pain and when you've had to get harness on too finish the job I begrudge paying the rate!
