afternooon peeps.

i currently only do domestic work but would like to expand a little into the commercial sector.
i currently work out my prices out by giving myself a hourly rate i want then access how long a job would take and work out from there.
 i was just wondering if you lot charge work on the same hourly rate for commercials as you do for domestic work.

im not looking anyone to give there prices away but do you as a like 25%etc on your rate for commercials or does it stay the same.

thanks a lot

you price what you want to earn

dont worry about others

if your round is full, you can afford to put in good prices, afterall you have enough work, anything else is just a bonus

Commercial work is fools gold, at the first sign of someone that will do it a fiver cheaper your gone.
Residential customers stick with you because they know you, trust you and know you do a good job.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket, a lot of WCers i know lost out big time when the recession hit, it hardly affected the residential WCers.

just my thoughts

I dont mean to offend pal

but you are obviously speaking about other people not your own experience as i find that commercial is very very lucrative and wish  had more

recession or not commercial is better especially if you ar gonna employ for various reasons and 99% of the time  better money

I agree the money is better, there is just no loyalty and you can loose the job so easily

I think sometimes commercial work becomes so competetive that every one undercuts everyone else 'til the job's hardly worth having .

In my opinion the main advantage of commercial work is that it's guaranteed income what ever the weather throws at you .

Loyalty though is not something a lot of commercial customers know anything about

your right

thats why when i get asked to price jobs, i price them well, cash in while you can

yes it pays more, yes it can be gone next week, enjoy it while you can
