This is a topic that is all over the place on the web. Some say this, others that. I know it has a lot to do on your personal preference, market, and the type of build you are doing.
My question is, if you are doing cabinets, or a dining room table, or book cases, or turned work - how do you figure the proper price to bid at?
Of course you can go to the stores and figure out by comparing to them, but they are based on mass production and most do not offer the quality in the build or product used that most here offer.
Do you take the cost of material and charge a percentage on top for the labor involved?
Do you use an hourly format, or just have a flat rate?
I would really appreciate others ideas on how you base your costs/bids.
Thanks,
Brian
