Need help on bidding
Hello I have a job I'm bidding on. The job consists of framing, drywalling, mudding, carpeting, hanging a drop ceiling, hanging 2 doors, and relocating 3 electrical sockets and hanging 2 track lighting fixtures, and rerouting 2 heating ducts. the room is 17 feet 6 inches by 105 inches and 7 and a half feet tall. how much should i charge for just the labor. I used to work with my uncle and he always handled the bidding and i just worked with him so i am unsure about pricing this job any help is well appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff

It all depends on the height of the room, you did not give us that dimension.

or what kind of carpet and padding, what kind of tiles in the ceiling, or track lights or how for the ducts need to be rerouted or how much the electrician is going to charge you to move the outlets (cause I know you're going to use an electrician  , even my insuance company don't like me playing with electric), what color of paint and how much that costs or how long it's going to take you.
How many feet is 105"?

Since you doing the complete job, charge per CUFT, you have about 1148.44 CUFT what is the going rate in your state? After you get the price per CUFT in your area, convert to price per SQFT and you can use the formula bellow to get the amount you should charge.
Definite Integral: Suppose f (x) is continuous
on [a,b] . Divide [a,b] into n subintervals of
width D x and choose *
i x from each interval for the height.
Then ( ) ( *)
1
lim i
b
a n i
f x dx f x x
®¥
=
¥
ò = å D.
Anti-Derivative : An anti-derivative of f (x)
is a function, F(x) , such that F¢(x) = f (x).
Indefinite Integral : ò f (x) dx=F(x)+c
where F(x) is an anti-derivative of f (x) .
Good luck

Celtic, do you need Linear approximation or Second derivatives: minimum vs. maximum?
