New build housing pricing help

[craig1000]

Hi all,

Have been given an opportunity to price for a new build housing development.
Not an area I have much experience in & was wondering peoples thoughts etc on hours per first fix & 2nd fix for a standard 3 bed property? & what sort of charge out rate to apply?

 

[i=p/u]

depending on spec ,3k a property, 2 sparks and 2 labourer

I would suspect there will be firms out there pricing for it who will have the cost nailed down to the last clip they use. I wish you luck, but if you don't have much experience in pricing this type of work then you may be way out. No such thing really as a standard property these days. Have a look at the spec then maybe work on a price per point basis.

in and out is what its all about, to make money... and fake love

my last firm i subbed for lost the next phase on a job because someone was £20,000 cheaper ! it was only about 15 houses !

 

[i=p/u]

the companies who do houses day and night go low then offer extras to the buyer @ £100 a spotlight..

yeah its all about what extras and daywork / site instructions they can screw out of the builders !

Big firm our way just do this all day long , man and mate 2 first fixes a day thats what your up against they get a set amount of kit if they go over it its out thier price , but good luck to you !

 

[i=p/u]

you need to see the spec, and guesstimate how long will take you and your workers to do and always allow for extra man to come in when you need him..

get ready to graft.. marking it out, chasing ,pulling the cables , piping then connecting then onto next one

 

[i=p/u]

sorry then leaving to plaster then going back a half a day or day if yourself to 2nd fix.. its all go, but at least no1 living in them
