We Need A Pricing Help Section!

dkillianjr

We need a sticky or something "Pricing help and going rate info". But the trick will be when someone clicks on it it will deactivate your membership and your computer will self destruct!

I think you're perhaps being funny (I'm not sure_), but from reading this website that would be a great addition - a pricing section. ----- Warmly, Barry

Pricing is one thing that is extremelt variable and most people will not provide information because of competitors and fear of legal aspects.

The real basis is the productivity that can be used by all if the units of measure and job size/classification can be determined and identified to a general market area.

After that, contractors can arrive at labor cost figures based on local costs. Material costs are what they are and no contractor can survive on the money saved by shrewd buying and running around to pick up crumbs.

Whatever come out of this will be much better than the rediculous sf pricing. Even seat-of-the-pants job price is better than the misleading and suicidal sf pricing. When you bid on price, you get what you are low on and not what is correct, so the cost history goes up and forces missing good jobs.

Whatever the going rate is, duh.

I think the more important question is not what is the going rate, but instead, where is it going?,
