meterage rates for decs

[GRAM71 29]

hi gents, i'm pricing a refurb job at the moment, the main contractor wants a price inline with the meterage rates, the walls and lids aren't a problem but i cant find anything on windows, door frames, or skirting, anyone here have a clue? i know what i want to charge and i reckon it'll be near enough but if anyone could give me a link or a price per metre it'd be a great help. just for info, 6" ogee skirting, port culliss windows,(lots of mullions), standard 5,1/4" door liners.

thanks in advance,

gram.

I'd imagine there will be a big variation on a meterage price. I know how you feel where you want to win the job but you dont want to overprice or underprice yourself. Cant you count out the materials you need, how long it will take you and how much you want to make per day and then calculate that out to a ppm......? Even go a few pound a metre higher just incase he knocks you down a bit..

hi lab, that's pretty much how i've worked it for now, i was trying to see if it worked out to a similar figure, what makes it a bit awkward is the window sizes differ, some are full height and about 3m long, while others are about 2ft square, a linear price would help get an accurate price rather than guess how long it would take then add a bit,.

thanks for the advice tho.

little update, i didn't get the job, never mind, i can't compete with monkeys willing to work for peanuts.
