Default Re: Quote confusion!

Experience is the key. First job I quoted for and got I based on the Sq metre.
A 7.5 sq metre kitchen around units @ £20 a metre and a 10 metre floor at £25 a metre so around £400 for under a weeks work. But next quote for the same customer was for a downstairs toilet floor at only 3 sq metres which I quoted a day rate of 150 which I got. So as you can see you have to judge the job so you are not out of pocket.

Recentley I was offered site work which was based on a fixed price of £20 a sq metre and you had to supply your own materials. On the face of it not bad when it came to the 18 sq metre bathrooms but the kitchens where a 100 x 100 tile at 3.5 Sq metres lots of cutting around sockets and cooker hoods so 2 days at £70 less adhesives is not on. So you have to take how long the job will take on board.
