Commercial work

[Macca2009]

Hi everyone, I am just wanting to pick a few brains here and get a bit of advice with regards to commercial work. I have been going for 3 years now mainly doing domestic work. recently though I have had a couple of commercial jobs. The problem I find though is what to charge for commercial work ie per hour and call outs. I have started to get a few jobs through shopfitting companies and need to decide what to idealistically charge them for work. Anyone else been in this situation? im based in Leeds and dont want to be under pricing my self while not been to greedy.

Thanks

We don't discuss pricing in open forum.

But make sure you're competitive without underselling yourself.

You need a minimum of 100 posts.

i personally would not charge a higher rate than domestic however the work generally takes longer sucks up more time

You've been a member longer than me!

Doesn't take long to build a post count up. I do 100 before breakfast, carry out 4 or 5 jobs a day and drive over 150 miles each day!

Self management my boy.

If anyone wants to help Macca via pm.....
