Guess the price to skim that on site??

[Jurek]

That house in the pic looks tiny so i reckon haf a shift plus the gear

this might help:

 

[scottie5]

Smash that in 2 days and your laughing

 

[Arti]

like a pirate

 

[jesssop]

There's 8 days work there I'd make £60 profit :RpS_laugh:

:RpS_sneaky:

 

[Mad82]

£860 to skim!!

Prices going up I see. The reason I decided to come of sites in Yorkshire and never looked back

 

[Mad82]

What does me is people will break there back to do it make a wage and then they just knock the price down again and again. Something that size in 2004 I was getting double that to skim

 

[jesssop]

Its a fcuking joke

 

[plaster man]

little bit tight that and tax to come out off that i suppose i coat and one pass me thinks

 

[bubbles65]

I wouldn't even do the ceilings for that shoite :RpS_thumbdn:

 

[leebo02]

crazy, most spreads could not even make a wage at those prices

Shouldn't have to. End of the day plastering is the best money spent on a job finishing wise

GD where are you buddy?

That sounds like the sort if prices you get around South Yorkshire

How many boards are there in the house

 

[scottie5]

How many boards are there in the house

Looking at that I would personally guess no more then 400m2 of board work maximum, meaning a rate of 2.15ish a metre sh1t money. Its at least £300 below what id expect.

 

[theclemo]

So it's a 140 boards. £688 after tax how could someone make money at that

 

[scottie5]

Its sh1t mate, but when all said and done its a weeks work for one man 650 take home for a weeks work is not exactly minimum wage. Whoever the main contractor is though they're robbin coonts.

 

[jamesthefirst]

£660

£661

 

[stuart23]

It's the clowns willing to work for that amount of money that are the problem. You can't blame the developers, there just trying to make as much as they can and are helped by the fact so many will sell themselves short.

Thats 28 boards a day mix on your own that is madness mate. That's slave labour.

still don't think posting and advertising the fact does the situation any favours...might aswell say to builders have a look on google and see how low you can try and pay!!!!

 

[flynnyman]

One of the reasons I left site work it is no different from factory work, your working in a box day in day out, doing the same thing with little skill needed. they want to know when you will finish the next one before you have started the one your going in, the boarding is usually a shocking standard, no satisfaction in the work, **** standards and **** houses bought by mugs hoping the housing market improves.

 

[Gibbo]

Id smash that in two days two spreads though

 

[beddy]

Your dogs a ******* nutter though

 

[Marshy]

I'm glad I never do site work after reading these posts I'd probably only make any money selling bacon but ties etc out the back of my van!? :RpS_laugh:
