Ball park figure for this job?

[armyash]

Customer has a loft conversion room, it's quite big and asked for a price for a shower room to be made at one end. Received a reply back this evening to say the price was quite a bit more than they were expecting so they need a rethink. I'm not particularly bothered as can't win all jobs and not everyone appreciates the amount of work involved. I'm more interested to know if my pricing was OK.

There is no plumbing at the moment other than hot and colds poking through the floor that were capped who knows when. There is some 10mm cable laying on the floor to be used for an electric shower.


The job would include:

Building the room from scratch so a carpenter would be needed. Including the fitting of a pocket door.

Tiling to be done.

Plastering to be done.

Electrician possibly needed.

Also new stack needed, so will also need to work in other bathroom removing toilet etc.

Fitting of toilet, basin and shower tray and screen and all associated plumbing from scratch. Getting wastes under floor where possible. - Fitting shower room from scratch.

Fitting a towel warmer with electric element for the summer.

There's possibly more but that's the gist of it. Complete room from no walls to built useable shower room.

We're obviously not doing all aspects of the job but have price for all the work and have other trades friends come in.

Once I get a few replies, I will say what price I gave, see if I was over priced or not.

Thanks

Yes small shower room, will need a very small basin and toilet. Might be 2.5 x 2.5, still not very big but I think its more as a guest user shower rather than a everyday thing.

Parking and access is good.

Customer to supply tray, screen, toilet, basin and electric shower. That's it. Everything else we would sort out.

We went in at just over 7k. Too cheap.

I done one similar last year , they supplied tray , screen,toilet,about 18 m2 of tiles which were hard as hell,wall mounted vanity, mixer shower, towel rail.

I was 3 k labour plus whatever my materials were .

I got stung by the tiler on that one said he wanted 25 per square meter then cheekily charged customer extra and my invoice from him was 300 more.
7 k for a shower room when they supply the bigger stuff would be a lot where i live.

However customers are quite often in planet lala when it comes to cost

Not sure if this is taken into account, but some form of ventilation. I don't get involved in pricing because I work for a firm, but sounds like a biggish job, so mats cost may be high?

Plastering? Would you not be better with cement backer board or aqua panels?

Yes there would be a fan, also light fitting. I didn't all aspects of the work but yes that stuff needs accounting for too.

We went in with a price, aqua panels would be preferred but we've priced it to get the quote in but would expect there to be changes. We always make it clear on the quote any significant changes would be chargeable.
