Standard charge fro extra hire (1 Viewer)

There isnt 1 bur tbh 3-5% of price of gross standing stock per wk is normally a good placw to start
 
Having worked with some of the big national companies in the past, quotations were raised by calculating out the amounts of materials required.
Extra hire rates reflected the Hire cost of material you would pay on the open market and would commence after an agreed 'occupational or hire period'. The Quotation would always give the extra hire rate for - a. Tube and Fittings, b. Boards per lift. Charges would be raised 'pro-rata' to the progressive dismantling of the equipment.
If the site held on to large quantities of your materials for too long it will impact on your work for other clients - hence your need to hire on the open market. Why should the builders bad programming of his work's impact on the viability of your company's liquidity?
Some smaller scaffold companies will just charge a percentage of the quotation value to cover overhire but i feel this is not always fair to the client and could cause long lasting bad feeling that will rule you out of future works with this client.
However you charge this contentious amount you should have shown the value in your quotation prior to the order placement to have a firm legal claim to the additional costs.
 
we normally charge 10% of gross price havent had any problems with customers
 
10% of the quotation value as a maximum charge? or 10% per week? If you look at sp's post he charges per week.
 
We charge 5%-10% of the quotation price per week ,
If the job starts to come down slowly we just adjust the hire as it comes down.

Most of the firms hate paying extra hire ,
But your kit is no good to you stood on their job when you are out buying for another .
We do have one customer who refuses to pay extra hire and if you want his work you have to accept that ,
But his stuff only ever runs over by a few weeks and he will always pay your invoice in full when the job is handed over to him which is always nice .

As always Binthere spot on with the answer.

Hire is normally based upon your equipment value over a depreciation period times the hire period.
Additional Hire/Extra Hire is the same figure times a "commercial" coefficient (buggeration factor) for the exact reasons Binthere has stated, you are no longer in control of your equipment or destiny.
