I know it takes 115hrs because I may be taking it over from another firm who have told me it takes that long, they quoted £1400 for it and are giving it up.

I'm not sure whether our quote has been accepted or not.


And you are wondering why ????????? ::)

jonah

can you e-mail me please

alanwilson@lycos.co.uk

I had to change the e-mail again because of the continual stream of crap going to it.

I've never been to bed with an ugly bird but I've woken up with loads!

i take it you mean 115 man hours. so if you had 2 men on the job it would take 57.5 hours. sorry i'm lazy and can't be arsed to read the whole post!! ;D ;D

what ever way round it was i would be heading for £5750 minimum but trying to push higher. i wouldn't even touch it for anything less than 5750 and would make more money on domestics. commercial is suppose to be the cream and i really wouldn't bother with it otherwise

So you want £100 per hour to clean windows?

Don't think you'd get the job... ;D

Maybe so... but to get 115 hours of £50 an hour domestic work would be pretty difficult all at once... not to mention fuel bills for running around between houses, chasing the money etc.... if you charge 115 hours of commercial out at £30 an hour, the client is getting good economy of scale, and you are getting £3500 for one job, which gets paid all at once... seems pretty reasonable  :)
