Quote too much??

[hamdogg]

Hi all just a quick one, I've recently priced a job for someone, put a fair price in IMO! But had them send me an e mail back stating how can I charge so much Etc etc so basically the job is to dismantle 2x large oak trees in a woodland and every piece of wood to be rung up! A sycamore to dismantle at the side of the road all timber to be rung up ! All brash to be left stacked on site and a few large lower limbs off some other trees and prob a good few hours of ringing some wood that is allready on the deck in the wood! Just wondered what other people would be thinking for quoting? Cheers

I wouldn't bother justifying yourself unless you need the work. Your price is your price.

How many days work and for how many men?

[s.varty]

Ask them how near was your quote to the others, chances are they havnt had anymore quotes and just had a price in their heads what they were willing to pay

[hamdogg]

If say a busy day for three men then a second day for two men ringing up and finishing off the other bits of work ! All trees will need to be climbed can't straight fell them!

I'd want £1000 +vat mate.

Id probably want more than £1000 to dismantle two big oaks and a sycamore plus ring all timber up and remove limbs on other trees. But really can't say without seeing it.

Well that's what I thought! I were just under with no vat

Sounds too cheap if anything mate, I wouldn't worry, we all win some and lose some.
