Hi

I think £700.00 is crazy and agree with Dan, ignore it, set your price and speak of quality that you'll delivery. Its a show home so it will need the quality of finish you can offer, blah.blah.blah.

On pricing i have an interseting exercise for you to do which might help.

Take your £25.00 per m2 and set it to one side.

Then write down the following: Grout @ £1.00 per m2
Adhesive @ £2.00 per m2
Pegs @ £0.75 per m2
Petrol @ £0.40 pence per mile
Van @ £7.50 per day
Van insurance @ £3.50 per day
Company insurance @ £1.00 per day
Telephone @ £0.50 per day
Tools @ £1.50 per day
Administration time (estimates etc) £2.50 a day
Tax @ £???
Anything else you can think of that is a cost to
you.

These figures are not accurate and just there to help with the exercise.

If your not careful you could take your figures devide them by the average number of hours you work per day and end up working for less than the national average.

Its a big wake up call for tilers, lets bill what we are all worth.

Hallelujah! Somebody else thinks the same way as me!
