thought i share a little homework with you!

[REDSAW]

been asked to quote this with a £600 boiler!
dont matter where you are in country or what you charge, but based on the info and pics..whats your estimate?
forget the bathroom. you can see water supplies and gas from pics, guess rest.

customer has just started 'flipping houses' hes not a bad customer of mine so not going to be too rude to him as he is a 36 year old doctor in computers!
i will share what he wants me to charge him after a few inputs. this is his second project under £100k and his first made him £10k after 6 months! gave him an estimate this afternoon but now changed boiler posistion to another room.
enjoy!!


1. Remove and plumb out radiator as not required. As a set of double doors being installed in its area. As below, the wall with the 2 windows. Used to be external wall but now house has extension on.
2. Plumb in new radiator on the wall under the 2 wall lights.

Adjacent to the kitchen is the area under the Stairs. The boiler to go where the window is. Window to be blocked up. Next door has done the same.

Would be looking at around the 4k mark.
He would be better starting from scratch as it sounds a bit of a mish mash.
But as said he wants to flip as quick as poss & as cheap as poss.
The buyer can have the hassle in a few years as things go wrong,

1600 lol
Easily at least 3.2k to 3.5k

Someone has been watching too much homes under the hammer.

5k I'd say, £1600 is offensive

 

[Alpha man]

If it was me pricing, 3.3k-3.8k plus vat!

How many days does everyone think this is? And what does everyone reckon the materials bill would be?

 

[jtsplumbing]

Stick to your price (Think it's to cheep) but if that's what your happy with ! £1500 tell him to use the chap down the road, cos the next job he will be expecting done cheaper !! You've given him what you want stick to it , or walk away

Get him to go with the chap down the road, then pull his pants down to fix all his leaks and straighten up all his pipework, level the rads and un-ID the boiler.

i wont do labour only!!

he can supply rads and suite, possibly boiler, minimal loss that way, but if they go wrong its his problem!.
the rest i supply and mark up or not interested.
