How to quote big job ?

[on31ll]

Got a quote a big job its a big house being turne into 5 flats ! Got water mains, gas, bathroom, kitchen and CH install times 5 ! Any of you guys got an approach for this type of project ?

Price up one flat and job sorted. Did one last year, big house into 4 flats. Just concentrated on one flat multiplied by 4 and then added on the individual works.

Yer thats what i was thinkin ! Need to get the paper and pen out !

also make sure you discus the payment breakdown stages up front,best to know where you stand from the start so you dont have problems with waiting for money or arguments. nothing worse than a soured relationship near the start of a job you will be on for a while.

Personally, if it was me, it would be an estimate, not a solid quote.

Don't forget to tell him services are his problem, 5 gas services, meters ain't cheap etc

 

[on31ll]

Yer ive mentioned that ! He asked if i can sort it though ? I told him possibly and at a price he was fine with that !

 

[PatchettPlumbing]

As said, do an estimate - Can see you needing to adjust it slightly.

Well done for getting a job like that though mate!

Charge for all your time, as you will need to go through credit checks to get meters, so you will need ALL his details too
