The majority of the work I have done has been residential and I feel pretty good about my pricing schedule that I use for that.
But, it's winter time now and the residential work is slowing down. I would like to get more into commercial work. The problem I am having is that when I go out to bid a commercial job I feel completely dumbfounded when it comes to pricing.
I generally calculate my bids for residential work by the sq. ft. but when I measure and then key in the price per ft. that I use, it just blows me away.
Anyway I guess my question is does anyone price residential work at one price and commercial work at another price? My question is primarily for flat work but any other ideas/outlooks would be great.
I understand that any extra cost such as a manlift, etc. are added on.
