Hi all,

I was wondering if charge a certain amount for a job regardless of how long it ends up taking?

Or do they charge a daily rate?

Cheers.
 
there are generally two ways of dealing with the costing of a job.

day rate or fixed quote.

with day rated work, the onus is with the customer.

with quoted work, the onus is with the tradesman.

you will only ever make a wage by going down the 'day rate' road, unless you are a contractor with a gang of subbies.

the opportunities to make a decent profit lie with quoted work.
