Whats the going rate per window to install???
ibuilddreamhome
Well I am getting $3000 a window here.
Seriously, no one will be able to give you a price. Its a simple as this:
How much do you want to make an hour?
How many windows can you set in an hour?
How many windows are you installing?
How much are the materials/windows?
What is your overhead?
BTW- There is no such thing as a going rate!

These guys are smarta$$es...Seriously though, cost plus $12. I close 100% of my sales at that rate.
ok new here sorry
I have taken over an existing project and am also new to the game. I have to install around 30 casement windows ranging from 2'6"x4' to 4'x4-6'. Also i have 4 bay windows that are 5'x6'. Last but not least i have 3 10' combos to install. The materials have already been purchased by the homeowner and he is wanting an estimate on what it would take for me to install these. I thought that a lump sum per window installed would be the best way to go, but if anyone has some suggestions for me feel free to let me know here or email me at ibuilddreamhomes@yahoo.com Thanks!

Not sure how much I would charge for a dream window my man.. :whistling
Seriously, how many different window styles are there? How many different sizes of windows in the styles? Where is you location of that size and style of that window? Is it in that foyer where it's 24 feet up?
To many variables my man?
Better question. How are you building homes and not come across the cost of windows, unless of course, your building incarceration systems..

REALLY? I understand you have every expense in there, but if you install 10 windows, the company is only putting $120 in the bank?
im stubborn too
As far as the smartassss coments go. . . i can take em as well as i dish em out. Basically what ya'll are saying is that you suggest manafactures cost +15-25% for every window installed with adjustments made to accebility an so on. What I wanna know is if this pricing is basically the industry standard?

There is a guy one town from me that charges $40/ window for vinyl replacements, that includes removing and reinstalling the trim, but he will not repair the trim that he damages, fill nail holes, paint, or even fix the typical scratches he puts in the drywall just below the window. If there is rot, insufficient insulation, or any insulation at all, he just keeps on going. He reuses the old moldy insulation. I really think he would tell you about the rot and stuff, but he doesn't speak English, and for some reason the caulk he uses on the exterior seems to peel within a year, but his lifetime warranty doesn't cover that.
But the Customers really love the price.
IBDH......What does it cost you to do the job properly? Profitably?

How much does a car cost?
Think about that now for a second. You are probably thinking "That's a question I can't answer until I have more information." You are exactly right. You are thinking what kind of car, how big an engine, what features and options right? Exactly, because I am thinking the same...
What kind of window? What's the scope of work (new construction or replacement)? Who is trimming the interior? Is it even necessary to trim the interior? Who is trimming the exterior? Is it even necessary to trim the exterior?
Your answer is...
How long will each window take you to install? Multiply that by your hourly rate. If you don't know your hourly rate you should be asking your accountant this question, not us. Pricing by the going rate, is pricing by the going out of business rate.
I personally think material markup of 15% is ridiculously low. You ask my accountant he will say you need 27% plus salesman's commission. I then like to add one more incase of mistakes, unknowns, and why not if I can get it.

For 2 story dwellings max, $125 labor for single windows under 101 UI. That includes re-trimming the interior with EXISTING TRIM, and capping/caulking the exterior. Double units run about $175-$225. Triples, $200-$300. Bays and bows start around $500-$600 for a "simple" install, and go up from there. That's what I charge, but Idon'tbuilddreamhome either.
