I will play nice!
Let's start out with this very simple question:
How much are materials going to run you?

OK, we're making progress. Now, how much will your labor costs be?
Good Luck

Well, at least he was laughing so we'll give him the benefit of doubt.
Steve, Here is exactly what I would charge;
(Cost of materials + profit markup) + [(labor charge including burden, OH & profit) x number of hours] + oops factor if required = sell price.
Note: there is no reference to the going rate or how much anyone else would charge.
Good Luck
Dave
