Pricing Model / Calculator
Posted: Thu 16 Jul, 2015 1:26 am
Sorry if this has been covered before - and if it has, I would be grateful for a link - but has anyone out there got a basic pricing model/calculator for framing work?
I am just getting back into framing after a long-ish (10yr) break. I used to have a very basic cost calculator which was kindly given to me by a fellow framer, but having found the original in the depths of my existing database, I find that it is now no longer compatible with my current iMac. I am an enthusiastic hobby framer and do fairly basic stuff, so I'm just looking for something that works out what materials I have used and adds a basic mark up to cover the cost of completing the work. At the moment, I'm doing stuff at 'cost' (materials only), as I'm using the work as my re-introduction/re-familiarisation to framing. I don't need anything very complicated, just something which gives me a good basis for working out cost/price.
Any thoughts and/or practical help would be most welcome.
Thanks
