Self employed carpenters price work

timberman92 · 2025-03-22 02:36:16

Well lads, I've recently went out on my own at carpentry. The work is no issue but my problem is pricing jobs, I understand adding profit and allowing wiggle room but pricing of the work is the problem I have. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

As someone once told me, make a living not a killing and you will always have work.

Don't expect anything from life, just be grateful to be alive.
