Welcome to the forum m3.

Its easy to work out. Add together the amount you will pay to erect and dismantle a scaffold unit rate. I assume you are a scaffolder so you will know the amounts of tube fittings and boards needed (Plus any ancillary items -e.g. Hiltis etc), these cost's can then be calculated by talking to your suppliers. then add transport costs and a percentage to run your business (things like EL&PL insurance, yard and stationary costs) and then you are up and running.

Welcome and good luck with your new firm.
Wish I did it years ago.

You'll never get rich in this game working for someone else.

Good advice Binthere.
Welcome to the forum M3bays.

A good idea is to work out what your running costs would be. Then allow a profit margin. Then you can see what you need to operate without running at a loss.Work out some rates based on this. Then get some quotes from other firms in your area and you can see how you compare.
