  1. if you price too cheap people will think they are Getting shoddy work. Charge what you need to charge why should you undercut your self just to win work in, You will quickly go bust. I have priced jobs in the past more then some one else and won it as. As i came across more professional and my image looked a lot better, Some times its not the price its how you sell your company to win the work. Cheap it not always good idea. You would not buy a cheap saw. People who want cheap work will be the ones who will throw a fit when. There looks fantastic and they wont it looking like next doors Hacked to death like anything
