I will play nice!

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

[Steve.Mervine]

550 is the total cost of material i was thinkin 900????

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

Good Luck
Dave

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

[J F]

come on guys, it's a plumber in disguise :laughing: (nice ring to it, no?)

 

[J F]

...so he should charge it at $125 an hour + materials + markup...doesn't get any easier...unless you look on CL :w00t:

How about hire a guy like me, then just mark it up a bit. Leave it to someone who knows whats going on.
