Pricing jobs

[valentino petrescu]

Guys need some guidance on how to price jobs from just felling to full dismantle . Any advice is much appreciated 😃

Cost + profit = price

Cost = wages for help, fuel, Insurance% per day, ppe, overheads etc.

Profit. = your wage/cut, reinvestment money.

Price can vary so much across the country and to each individuals business models your asking the impossible to answer correctly question.

What I am looking at is a rough idea on what others charge , I know people vary by experience and time at each job but looking just for a guide line

[Gray git]

That sir is a question you will never get a strate answer to on here for several reasons.

Way to many variables.

Professional secrecy of what our costings are incase our biggest competition is watching.

True fair play but hey thanks for the input that gave me a idea all ready on how to work it all out accordingly to what I am doing . Many thanks

£50-£500 for a fell and £150-£5000 for a dismantle

It seems like almost all of your posts are to help you price a job buddy. You are the only one able to do that. I try to get between 50 and 70% of my quotes. If I get less I'm too expensive if I get more I'm too cheap.

Is it not worth a new forum titled "How do I do........" eg pricing, removal, do this, do that, sharpen a saw, wipe me butt etc.....

Surely getting into this industry you should have at least half a clue as to what you need to be charging for said jobs. Jesus

If I jumped straight into the industry I honestly wouldn't have any idea how to price a job but fortunately I've being doing this a long time so I can kind of get if right, sometimes I drop a ball and sometimes different circumstances can make the job seem tight (weather, being let down,machine breakages, and the unknown in the stem) I remember when I first started out and my boss was taking around £400 a day and he had two crews out I thought he was making a fortune but once you get a sensible head on you he wasn't really. You price yourself on time and how much out goings you have. If you get the job done an hour early the bonus is you get to go home early if you do the job a day early you've made yourself a days bonus it's really that simple figure your daily outgoings and figure out how much you want paying per hour and estimate accordingly. I hope you do well but I don't mean to be offensive this is the basics of starting out you should have this business plan before you even purchase a chainsaw. Good luck
