What to pay day rate

[Skys]

Hi. Looking to employ a sub contractor on a day rate. Just helping on projects we have ongoing. All work is in South Yorkshire working in a team with us or sometimes alone. Would just like to know what is a fair day rate for 8hrs. Always pay weekly?

Everyone wants at least £200 per day now, even for digging holes or filling skips.

 

[MJPD29]

Minimum £1000 for 40 hrs or 200 a day

 

[Skys]

We have been offering £250 a day but nobody seems interested

 

[MJPD29]

I have no idea what rates are like in Yorkshire or england as a whole to be honest. What kind of work is it?

There are a lot of variables to be considered.

My day rate changes based on who the customer is, what their reputation is like, how often they give me work, what the work is, how well organised the job is etc.

Then lower your mark up and offer more.

Its not that people wouldn't work for £250 a day, I would, but I wouldn't work as a subcontractor. I prefer to do my own thing, I could never stand there whilst somebody is telling me their way is best and what they say goes.

It is not difficult offer a decent rate and you will get what you want, offer peanuts and you get monkeys, you will always been known as the contractor who can't deliver, hesitant to put this on here again, but when I retried ten years ago I was charging near double what you are offering.

Would never tell anybody my way is better. Been doing this long enough to no every day is a school day. If you no a better way that will be my way.

Sorry if we make a mistake and work is not organised you still get the day rate. Nothing always runs to plan.

Would never tell anybody my way is better. Been doing this long enough to KNOW every day is a school day. If you KNOW a better way PLESE POST HERE SO I CAN INVESTIGATE.

Altered that for you.

Wow, £500 a day 10 years ago ?.
What sort of work was that doing ?

 

[mainline]

I would do my own electrical work, but use someone else as I can't afford my prices.
