Pricing a job.

Hello lads/lasses. Just after a bit of help here. I've got a job to go and price tomorrow. I've never been involved in pricing a job before so therefore I ain't got a clue on prices. It's in the North East so I'm after a price by square which is 10'x10' if I'm not mistaken. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I'm surprised that nobody has offered a bit of advice before now. It may be because a lot more information is required before any formula can be worked out. Are you supplying the gear, is there any transport involved, is it a tg20 compliant job, how many men are expecting a cut, what exactly is your responsibilities during the contract term, are you insured, should you be?

Not by any means, an exhaustive list, but you would certainly need to know the answer to this and more before pricing any job.
