Re: How Much Should I Charge

The job consists of a 24' x 42' pole barn that the guy wants turned into a 3 bdrm 1 bath bunk house.

24'x24' is a wood shop. the other 18x24 is pole barn with 10' x24 of the back end that needs subfloor, concrete missing. allready has electric, but no pluming no studded walls.

I need to know what I should charge for the job. Just looking for a Idea, he dosnt want to go by t&m( time and material), so I need a sq ft bid. didnt want to charge him addition price, since most of the foundation, roof, electric and exterior walls are already there. my material cost is going to run somewhere between 5-7 thousand, best guess.

If anyone has a suggestion, thanks

I have an addition to add to. The first contractor added some to it, but now I have been added to the equation by being asked to add more to the addition. So, as, it stands, I am adding to an addition by adding an addition. Add up?

How much should it cost me to add to an addition by adding additional material?

How much I charge?

Should I multiply or add?

After all, it is an "addition" and I do feel that Multiplication would be inconsiderate. Want to stay "like minded" with the entire project!

So please give me a price so I can pass it on and pretend to be a "Contractor".

Thanks Guys! You are SWELL!

.....so true, yet at some point material will have to be removed, therefore subtraction should be considered!!!

Re: How Much Should I Charge

I would use the Pythagorean theory somewhere in your equation. Unless, of course, this is a circular addition to your additions. Then, I can't help you.


Don't mention it.
