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.
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!! 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
