What do you guys pay for

[Rich Rule]

I would say 100 is too low mate. You know your area though and if that is what you think you are worth then fair enough. Not knowing what the market is like up there it is hard to suggest a figure but at least 140 a day. More if you can get it.

I go subbing, 10 years experience in and out of uk! Every ticket going really, I can climb, dismantle, fell do all ground work, operate big machinery!! All my own Ppe etc! I know what I charge and are happy with it! What would people think I charge?

 

If your as good as you say......... I'd think you would start at £150/day.

5 days, 52 weeks a year. Minus the 21 days paid holiday an average employee gets. Minus a further 5 for paperwork and cancellations etc. Total of 234 working days.

234 x 100 = £23,400

I was on very nearly that as an employee as a climber when I left to go it alone 4yrs ago.

Then take away fuel, equipment, repair/maintenance costs, loler, ppe, insurance if doing own jobs, advertising, tool insurance, tax & ni, pension, personal injury/life insurance and so on - doesn't leave a great deal...

Charge what you're worth people!

Agreed. £100 per day is cheap for climbing. Listen to old money bags hamish and give yourself a pay rise.

When I 1st went full time about 3years ago I'd charge £100 a day just for sitting in a loader or a digger on the local estate as a fill in when nothing ells on and they were quite happy with that and involves no cost to me apart from getting there which is about 5mile. Now I occasionally get asked to do the odd day on the forwarder or loader if a few wagons coming in for biomass and they are short handed but charge £160 and still happy also normally have 2 lads out doing something ells. Also get free tipping on this estate and get proper rates for all there arb work so worth keeping in.

Hamdogg over in the other thread (do you charge more for commercial ) you said about under pricing devaluing the industry.

Your doing exactly the same to yourself.

Been there myself but in the end you got to think of number one.

I meant sort of pricing the entire jobs! The more money in jobs the more you can pay the men

The more decent climbers charge, the more has to be put on the job.

Ahh got you misinterpreted it.

 

It sounds to me like your more than capable of running the job and moving it along which is quite an acquired skill.

 

I would be paying you £150 and a bonus as and when pos
