Price help £$£$£$£$£$

[Scott_D]

I am pricing a house refurb and could use a little help on the price

Large old terraced
It will have 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms
System boiler and 300 ltr unvented
9 Rads and 4 Towel rails
Hot and cold into the bathrooms (builder to do the bathrooms)

Around £4000 materials
Im thinking £3000 labour
I could do with the work but I dont want to end up earning next to nothing

 

[hammers4spanner]

Just priced job agreed day rate and they pay materials. Needed the work and it worked well for both of us

So you’re not putting in hot and colds?

Probably an ideal system boiler and Ideal cylinder

So you’re not putting in hot and colds?

I will pipe the hot and cold to the bathrooms, they will do the rest.

 

[Sharp Point]

Water softener?

Labour is too little in my opinion.
Materials about 4-5
Labour about 4.5-5

You need to remember you have to plumb, hot and cold to all bathrooms, full central heating, lagging, flushing, installing boiler and cylinder, wiring, perhaps a water softener etc ... it’s a lot of work

I want the job but I don’t want to earn less than If I was to sub to someone else

Might be true though. But still a lot of work to be fair.

Your prices are to low to sub out, unless your subbie is super quick and cheap.

I mean I can be a subbie to someone else but would prefer my own jobs

Have you had to give an accurate number of days?

No never just said I will be on site 9 till 4.30 and have rolling dinner. Said quite happy for them to keep tabs on me also by the materials going in will tell you in working. They had quotes tho so had a good idea of timescale.

Just quoted on a 5 bed three bathroom refurb 40kw boiler , 250 litre unvented cylinder basic sandringham sanitary ware one walkin shower, one cloakroom all new pipework hot colds, gas, water rads upstairs underfloor on the ground floor, all copper install estimate was £12,000 labour and minimum £12,000 materials as could change , it doesn't take longer to rack up the hours on site 2 men 80 hours a week is £1500 - £1800 a week 6 weeks was my reckoning x 2. Kop

These type of jobs for a one man band can potentially be the worst type of jobs, especially when you chuck in the word “builders”.
Schedules can go to cock on both sides etc etc .
