I'll be talking to my contact today, I spent about 3 hours talking to him at my workshop yesterday, while looking at the chairs in use and the ones that need fixing.
Rob lots of good info there, thanks, most of what you are saying I understand and I am doing or have done, the thing is they need a quote from me now, they have decided that they want to commission me to do the work, but they need a quote before they can proceed, accountants etc to keep happy you know
I told them 5000 yen an hour and 15 hours of work for the one chair, my contact told me to estimate on the high side, then if it takes a lot less work I can charge less time. I'll be talking to my contact again today to see what he thinks.
I agree that I don't want to go too cheap, but I hope you all understand I am trying to build a long term profitable relationship here, not just make money on a one time thing.
Cheers!
