cause it was so small thats all id pay to have something like that done, its going to be liturally 3 or 4 cuts 20mins start to clear up. i phoned up my mate he has his well established company he said well jobs like that id price at 100quid he said you cant get alot for cheaper than that these days. so took his advice.
-
cheers for all the feedback guys. i can see the pros and cons of priceing cheap and proper price much clearly now.
-
lucky all jobs so far have been proper trees, conifers are the tester which many companys have under quoted badly when ive climbed for them.
-
defo a learning thing this is my first proper year having to go quote for work.
-
possibly are older and wiser, but i would rather be out and about getting my name known, than sitting at home twiddling my thumbs. i dont want to get a reputation for ripping people off for small jobs cause alot of bread and butter stuff is small stuff. as for makeing the downward spiral i phoned up my mate who has company in same area for some advice, he said for jobs like that i would charge 100quid so i did.
-
i can see where your coming from but i wasnt priceing it so i would get the job, i priced it low as i could because it was such a small job. would feel guilty asking for more on that job. tricky to price little jobs unless you have a few you can group together.
-
gets your name out there is only good thing about it, or i could price it to make a profit and not get the job and lose out on money cause i drove out there to price for it.
-
if i had my saw i probs would have thought about doing it, and trying to cram it in the boot of my new astra but id feel abit of a idiot doing that
-
they want it doing this week, its holiday home there only here this week. i gave him price 100quid he accepted, least im covering my costs.
-
went out to quote a job today. got there went look at it its tiny yew tree probs 20ft high 10ft wide they want it felled, alleyway is access drive right up along side it. so i was thinking really i dont want price it more than 50quid is fair for it. but realistically ive gotta pay for my time drive to go look at it and back, ive got to then write out the quote etc. then actually go do the job and all in im either gunna lose money on it or price it cover my self and not get the job. so what do you guys do with little jobs like this???? normally id wait till i had loads of little ones and do them all in one hit but this is the only job round that area atm.

never been to good on spelling.

cant say ive seen worse than this so far. cant belive how stubid some people seem to be. where was that tree going to fit down anywhere in that location as a straight fell. shame there isnt a part 2 to show how/if they got it down.

where ever i get brought into a job to climb, i see my self as part of the team i do what i have to do get job done, if that means dragging, chipping and rakeing etc. all good ive never left a job with guys still cleaning up the mess ive made. (apart from when i was employed then i went up the tree crashed it all down, they drive me another job while some other guys clear it all up, then follow onto the next 1 i got taken to.)
