We use indirect heaters. There are companies in Cheyenne that provide construction site heat. We normally charge "high 3 figures" per day with a 3 day minimum. Check your codes for plumbing though since thawing is considered a repair in a lot of areas and "respect the trades" and hire a plumber/hvac contractor to cya. Indirect heaters can pipe right into the gas supply with your pipefitter/plumber/hvac tech or you can run off of 3-4 100lb cylinders. Just don't freeze the tanks so make sure to have someone knowledgable on tying these together.
And so the smart butt comments continue.
Apparently you read the forum with blinders because there are a lot of questions being asked on how to do this or that. By other contractors I might add.
Their are also a lot of people told this is not a how to site.
I am not in over my head. I will figure out how to do this without your help.
On your customers dime no doubt.
Which by the way you don't know how to do what I asked. So why not just keep your comments to yourself????
My trade is not listed as Property Preservation. When I do run into a client that requires those services I do have a sub-contractor that I use or refer them to.
For the life of me I can't figure out why the need for the flaming from you. I guess if that makes your "little man" problem feel better then have at it.
I'll just remember in the future that you are one that doesn't know
what hes talking about.
This is hardly a flaming. I just have an issue with people charging other people to do work that they are not qualified to do. I don't answer a lot of how to questions for this reason. If this is a trade you are in business to do you should have a) the know how to do the service you plan on providing b) the equipment necessary to provide said service c) a means of accurately estimating the cost to perform said service.
Thank you to the other guys that did post some useful info.
Only you can answer this question. There are to many variables to be considered and information that we do not have access to that pertains to your company. You also have no experience doing this work which means no history available to accurately price this. That means the best you could hope for is an educated guess based on what the average completion time is for someone experienced. You could in theory then take and multiply this by your predetermined billing rate to determine the labor cost. However, the time factor would not be applicable to you as you have no experience doing this. So this leaves you with one option: T&M billing. Which means you are learning on the clients dime.
If you have done this work before then you should have an idea as to how to bid it. My point is you have not done this work before (or are suggesting by your posts that you haven't) therefore I have issues with you charging someone for services you have no experience in providing. Would you like it if I misrepresented myself as a surgeon and operated on you after asking how to on a forum? Of course I guess there is the chance you just don't know how to bid jobs at all. If that is the case then use the search button and you will find information that will get you started.
