Just a tentative inquiry

can anyone tell me when pricing a standard independent scaffold 3 lifts with top lift boarded for re-roof or solar panels etc. is £6 a square metre (£54 a square) a reasonable price. Most of the work will be in a 25 mile radius of our base.
For example a house 10 metres x 8 metres and 5 metres high = £3,240
 
Not by a long chalk matey, that is miles short.
 
How are you doing your sums?

I get 10m x 5m @ £6 per meter square = £600 back and front
 
Goulda,

If you have a house getting solar panels fitted (for arguements sake)

Say 8m long x 3lifts high front 8m long x 3 lifts high rear


16m x 3 = 48 lin m

Say £15-20/ lin m

£720 - £960

Obviously different areas vary pricewise so you will have to tweak your price to your local level
 
What's wrong with Feet and inches ?!!
Hate the metric system, bloody French ! :D
 
Dass when ya mesure up i take it its all/most of the time squared rather than cubed? Lenght x hight as aposed to length x hight x with. Unless birdcage etc ??????
 
So do I allan but it's a nightmare measuring for gear in feet and inches yet for price in metric. I have done it that long I reckon I would struggle doing it any other way now.
 
we did a job yesterday and it worked out at 88 linear metres and boss has charged £2,000 up and down, it will take 5 man days to erect and dismantle we get £120 a day(max 7 1/2 hours a day) so as you see sounds like a good earner once you get a bit of gear and the work (I already have yard and a lorry and am looking to start up myself
 
Start adding the price of insurance and all the other expenses and see how it looks. £6 per meter squared is too cheap and it doesn't work out the way you say so better check the figures first.
