Need Help! Pricing Out Job, 1000 Gal. Grease Trap + Pump...

BSA Constructio

am going to be installing a 1000 Gallon 4000 PSI grease trap and a duplex pump for this resturant owner. I am curious as to how to price this job out. I will be doing all the work and not subing anything out. All I wanna know is a ball park figure I should charge. I have a number in mind but I want to see what you guys think and see if I am on the right track.

I have included some photos from the Plans as reference. Hopefully that will help a bit.

Here is the scope of work :

1. Remove Existing sewage pump & chamber and remove existing water closet
2. Cut up concrete floor on interior as per engineer drawing to install the new plumbing lines
3. Tear out existing sidewalk next to porch on the exterior rear, and excavate area for new 1000 Gallon tank location and plumbing
4. Remove backfill and concrete debris from job location to proper disposal facility
5. Once all prep work has been completed the tank shall be ordered, delivered, and set into place
6. All necessary plumbing and electrical connections will be made at this time
7. Call for rough inspection
8. After all the plumbing work has been completed, concrete shall be poured to cover all exposed piping on the inside of the property
9. Backfill remaining area around Holding Tank (Exterior)
10. Form and re-pour concrete side walk in the rear
11. Clean and dispose of any left over debris
12. Call for final township inspection



Thanks everyone.

If you click the link in my Sig you can see pictures of the engineering plans.

That sounds like AT LEAST $700 worth of work.

New Comiskey Park cost bout twenty million to build 15 years ago, I would stay within ten percent of that.

In all seriousness, you should pass on this job.

BSA Constructio

lol, actually I do know what I am doing buddy. I am 22 and I have plenty of Residential and Commerical buildings built under my belt. I own all my own machines and tools and trucks. I Have a number in my mind But I want to see what others think. By the way its 21,000 For materials only for the entire job. The number I am toying with is 50,000 for labor and materials. It will take 5-7 days start to finish.

Michaeljp86

The 20k I said is for labor only because I dont know what parts will be. This is just a wild guess, I dont do this sort of work.

BSA Constructio

cool. Thats what I was thinking. It will be 7-8K just for plumbing. Another 1,500-2K for wiring up the guage panels and pump system. So I am just posting to see what others think so that I can feel more comfortable with my numbers.

When will they learn???

When you get your "commercial and residental" license, what does that mean? Are you GC? Are you a PC?

It doesn't matter, please know that when ppl come on these forums and blurt out a job and ask "how much should this cost" it makes most people a bit pissy. As you are seeing here and on TL's site.

I don't know how it works in your particular land, bit seems a bit odd that you are a construction company and the plans clearly state work to be completed by a PC and an EC. And you stated you are doing all the work yourself. But I really don't care..... As for a price, that's up to you to figure. Any number you get is most likley totally unrealistic. I say do it for 1800. Make sure you don't over charge the client, you wouldn't want to lose the job because you charged SO MUCH.

It sounds like a big job and bid high, its better to bid high and loose the job then bid low and loose your savings.

send_it_all

Although I have absolutely no idea about this kind of work, after you described the job in your o.p., the number 70k popped into my mind.

Michaeljp86

Here a GC can do any plumbing if its for the waist system like septic systems. I can do electrical to but thats its own license, cant do it on a GC license.

BSA Constructio

Great to know. Than the whole Idea of a forum should be deleted. I like how people come on for questions and adivce. And on EVERY Online forum EVERYONE gets FLAMED. Too bad some of you older guys are real mature. I am probably one of the younger ones on these boards and its sad how much more mature I am than most of the older guys. And maybe you can't read or you missed the Part we are GC/PC/EC i do not sub out work. Among the 12 people that work for me we have all lic. covered. Thanks.

Michael and Send, thanks for the input glad to know some are still living in the real world.

Hmm, you sound just like a guy I used to know. I believe the name was Hallissey

JamesNLA

Boy, that wasn't a flaming. The main ones that get flamed are guys that ask HOW MUCH -- HOW MUCH.... It gets old real quick. The point of a forum is to serve people. So others can learn too, not to just appease you.
Don't get all snootie boy, you haven't a clue about me or what I know. I did not read anything about you having the licensed contractors on your crew.

And no one on here owes you crap. Take your 22 yr old self with "plenty of commercial and resi building" and have a little respect....might get you a little further...of course you already know this right? I mean after all....you're 22

I saw a guy on the corner yesterday. He had a cardboard sign that said, "How much should I bid for this project (see link at bottom)".

BSA, it is impossible for you to get confirmation on pricing for a project on an internet board. If you have a specific question relating to some technical aspect of the project, I am sure that you will receive accurate and timely information.
