I have been asked to tender for a couple of jobs that i have decent chance of getting. They are in the Manchester/Liverpool area. It involves about 100m2 of tiling, mostly walls, premier tiles, (20m2 floor). Now when i got in contact with the guy i know at the company i told him i usually as a standard work to a rate of 25/m2 for walls and 30/m2 for floors. These are just starting figures and whatever the size/spec of the job I then change accordingly.
So now its looking like i am getting these jobs and he has come back to me looking for prices according to the size/spec provided and i am thinking about £2300. I have come down a wee bit but i don't want to be like the desperado although i do need a foot in the door here. It could lead to a lot of tiling.
What my problem is, is that being up in Scotland (will be Leeds next month) and not doing loads of commercial stuff i am not sure what the going rates are for commercial work down south and that i maybe too cheap or too dear.
An idea from the more experienced guys would be appreciated.
Cheers

I don't think you're to dear, what you have to be careful about on some commercial jobs is the retention fees, main contractor fees etc. At the end of the day tho' you charge to suit the cut of your cloth (or whatever the saying is!):yes:
