Hi guys, as mentioned in my introduction. I am going self employed at the end of January. I've already priced a few little jobs which are fine but also got a 4 bed new build to price. The customer only wants a labour price as he's supplying all materials so that makes it a little easier. The house is quite large, with 1 bathroom, 2 ensuite, cloakroom, kitchen and utility. There are around 20 radiators, boiler, thermal store, possibly a water softener, 1 external stack and 2 internal. The system will be fully piped in copper so will take abit longer than doing it in plastic. The job itself isn't an issue as it's nothing I haven't done before but I'm worried about getting my price wrong. What I've done is made a list of all the jobs that need doing and put how long I think it will take me. Added it all up, got to 29 days and times it by a day rate of 200 and got to £5800. I'm submitting my price tomorrow but before I do, how does it look? Pricey, cheap or about right. I'm based in North lincolnshire if that helps so London prices won't apply.
