Usual an I too high question.

Before I say what I quoted....

Pricing please to change 140 flat panel ceiling lights for led.

Panals supplied but nothing else. No switching or zone changes. Apparently no other trades in

Full small supermarket but closed for change of ownership.

36 hours available for job including overnight.

Over to you.

Thanks
Dave
 
You are assuming 1 person could do it and no materials would need to be supplied, it's not necessarily purely labour only. As per post #14 its ÂŁ4.29 a fitting. Add in something like a click flow, and it's down to about ÂŁ2 a fitting.

As the OP has been called again, I guess it's all not worked out too well???
If the price is for X hours then that's X hours no matter how many men are on the job. If you charge for 2 you get it done twice as fast.

With everything supplied and you just doing the fitting, it's ÂŁ16.66 an hour and you need to do 4 an hour.

If it's a respectable supermarket, for ÂŁ600 I'd be expecting free weekly shopping for the next couple of years, as an Arthur Daley cushty. ?

It's a priced job, not an hourly rate, and from OP only thing supplied was the panels. If having to supply parts it could be under ÂŁ2 a panel. I guess that's why nothing is working ???

I would assume if a company says 'you have X hours to do the job' then if you use two men, each man gets paid less. Like if i quote for a rewire that's going to take me 15 days on my own, but i use someone else and it takes me 7 days, i get paid half as much anyway so swings and roundabouts.
