Anywhere from €100 to €200 per day depending on what they do
excluding materials

OK
I can only talk about a carpenter but the union rate for a chippie on prsi is 16.95 euro a hour plus traveling time 1.5 a day =160.55 for a 8 hour day then they get holl money
so at that rate why would anybody go self employed for an extra few euro what u think

redman

Very good point.

Curious if you think €400 a day is fair for a skilled marble tiler?

I recently had great painters in at €135 a day per person (it was a special deal)

Also not so good general labour (building up a block wall) which were meant to be €150 each a day but their day was starting work at 11:30 and finishing at 4pm while also taking a lunch for over an hour, which was more like a half day and thus were really €300 a day!

400 euro a day was there many days? and how long was the day

redman

I am presuming it was going to be a full day (8 hours) and it was for 5 days €2k

jesus you did well there for that rate per day...thats below painters union rate.i think.

redman

the whole package was €2.7k spread over 8 days
An old friend who had some of his painters between jobs and happy to cover costs

yeah see what you mean now...keep them going until he probably got more work in instead of laying them off...good good!

if it was for labour only 400 a day was a rip off(if it was per man)

sorry bud sorry

redman

Hi guys yes the €2.7k was for the painters which was really got working out for 2.5 guys over 8 days at about €135 per day

The €400 per day is what Ive been quoted for 5 days i.e. €2k for the Marble Tiling job which seems really OTT
