can you get work in the mines with this line of work
Comment from : @leonmrkic8621

When I was in business doing earthworks and structural landscaping All my jobs such as brick/blocklaying/ concreting/ landscaping ect , I only added my percentages into of labour and earthworks and all receipts/ invoices went to the owners, that way I’ve always gained the trust of my clients knowing there getting quality work for what they paid for, and I always made extra on my labour and my machines Even concrete saws ect I’d charge a hire fee in my quote for all the wear and tare on tools It’s each to their own and different trades and businesses price things differently, just gotta find what works for you to make money, but not overcharge to rip anybody off

Bro that’s actually crazyyyyy didn’t realise the money is so low I’m a flooring installer and wanting to get into carpentry and Jesus thought the money was better
Comment from : @416Flooring

Hey ,br in any trade especially when you drive your car , insurance,gst,super brYou have to make 800 dollars to 1000 dollars perdaybrEven i am working for big construction company as subbie and minimum i make is 600 dollars per day brI genuinely think all carpenter needs to raise the price so we don't need to too rush to have good quality of jobs and running business
Comment from : @Will-ut9pg

You have done well, and look after those who work with you, and you are worth every dollar you make :)

Hourly rate mate
Comment from : @Maximuswin777

Mate im a chippy in SA, and were charging $160 per hour here, i regularly make $1200 a day doing the exact same thing Your too cheap
Comment from : @farque4849

If you're not making at least $700 a day as a good trady, especially carpentry work, your wasting your time better off on wages, I do shop fitouts and get $55 hr on a wage, plus supper, plus all the insurance , dont be shy with youre prices
Comment from : @maniliterallyfailed6772

You're definitely selling yourself short 400 a day for a bussiness owner 🤔
Comment from : @boldackalack_4864

60/hour?
Comment from : @RenanLopesCorreiai

Bro no offence but you are the very reason the industry is cooked… up ya prices… 400 odd and you’ve got to factor in runnings costs Is ridiculous This is a classic case of a wages worker mindset Do this full time you’ll sink within 6 months But by all means keep going low and fucking the industry 👍🏻
Comment from : @Roy31333

Cheap as Come do all my work and ill pay for flights too haha
Comment from : @MrDeeds-yt

Your worth more mate
Comment from : @navz1893

As a diy nobody, absolutely loving your vids mate Good stark look into chippy life Appreciate it 🤙
Comment from : @isaacwinton

Fuck bro , i used make 600 a day doing concrete in Melbourne starting at 6 finishing by 1 pm , Just working for other company, you need to make minimum 1000$ a day, bro spend money on advertising and marketing
Comment from : @Ratheepan1122

How much was it? Dont wanna waste 27 mins
Comment from : @Gunluver

Dude you are worth more than that Dont be afraid to quote higher - guarantee people will pay Your skills are high level and valuable As a consumer, Id pay you double for the quality of work you are delivering and attention to detail Pump up the quote and receive more, for less All the best!!!
Comment from : @tl6680

great video
Comment from : @the_hunterghost9231

Nice one brother! Another great vid, it would be great to see work-arounds for sparkys vs Chippys when it comes to light installs when joists are in the way, when you've done the job and their trying to get their light fittings symmetrical after the install
Comment from : @pab1it05

I’m in the process of going out on my own and find the quoting very hard, especially for bigger projects I somehow landed a 6 month gig on this woman’s property and just doing it charge up cos I don’t know how to quote it
Comment from : @Seqhael

Sounds like you could possibly making more I’m not familiar with your area If you consistently have a few months work booked, that’s when you’ll know to raise prices Also need to make money on material mark up as well If clients don’t like that tell them to grab and deliver themselves
Comment from : @mitchmarostica5561

Yea brotha you are worth more than that but good work all the same
Comment from : @mine6312

Eh - red seal carpenter of 15 years from Canada here Now general contractor You’re a talented carpenter Good work ,cost good money brbrLeave a contingency on materials when you’re supplying them for overruns ( you’re apprentice easily could have cut a rafter wrong) and add a MINIMUM 10 mark up brbrSecondly even though you’re on the tools you need to account for the admin side of things And a contingency for mistakes- it’s construction and we’re human- there is ALWAYS MISTAKES brbrLast piece of advice for could give is ALWAYS be cautious working on a job that’s 1/2 done and document absolutely everything and have absolutely everything in writing I personally wouldn’t have touched thatbrbrOH !! And never work for friends!brbrKeep up the good work brbrCool video I really enjoyed it
Comment from : @Lib2369

Good to know what other guys are charging Been working for myself for 3 years and still find quoting hard as every job is different as I’m doing maintenance and you don’t know of if your too cheap or too expensive and lose the job I’ve learnt a few things, if you’re paying more for material it’s a high risk job so I’d charge more, less material I’d charge less, the risk is less…
Comment from : @anthonyp-gx3mk

4th year chippy for 30 an hour My goodness I'm a zero skill handyman and I bill out at $75 an hour Was thinking I'd be sad hearing you tell me about how you've pocketing 1k a day but nvm I'll go to work happy tomorrow Sanded and sealed a 50sqm deck today $1200 in the pocket after expenses Was looking at the deck you built, looks mint, would love to do maintenance on that thing $$$$$
Comment from : @OzzyMate88

Working to go broke
Comment from : @Free-j3t

Dude, you didnt have enough margin of profit, the appentice ended up on 65 /hr, you were on 50/hr before car expenses, collecting materials etc Just quote more realistic for Australia
Comment from : @davidballantine4781

It’s clearly obvious that you do quality work and therefore should be paid accordingly You will always have work if you quote fairly and do a good job Reputation is so important and clearly needs to be earned I would definitely use you on my build I like your attitude and work ethic and the fact that you did the right think by the young apprentice To save your knees, when doing decking you should consider using knee pads

Ribbon plate ??
Comment from : @brendansmith8420

Fantastic content buddy ,keep it coming
Comment from : @johnairdrie2208

The best thing to do in your quote is to have inclusions and exclusions Like fixing old broke stuff you didnt see Exclusions are kind of tagsbut be reasonable Swings and roundabouts and all that Customers are won or lost based on their expectations not yours
Comment from : @surferscollective613

U just showed everyone how to make money and compete against u
Comment from : @yhwhlives4393

Hey Dave, we’ve got a job in Melb very similar to the one you video’d here - trying to find your contact details but the Insta link appears broken and we don’t use Tiktoc How can we reach out?
Comment from : @thedownunderverse

You're an honest guy dave, good on ya
Comment from : @blinkin7641

Same pricing for subbying Only thing with private jobs is to always allow an added day to your predicted timeline, whether you need it or not You don’t need to let the client know you’ve priced it for 3 days howeverbrbrSo currently with quotes I’ll price the job up by how long I think it will take, not by m² rate The bigger (longer) the job, the more days I add brFor some reason I’ve had more success with quotes this way
Comment from : @crispbuild

Is that $430 a day not including super? It sounds too low for somebody who has to supply tools, vehicle and travel costs
Comment from : @jackyyung1242

great work mate
Comment from : @Tom-w7g7g

Good video, definitely charge more Theres always a 'what if' factor Your hourly rate should be the minimum you make allowing for a few problems
Comment from : @wesallen5903

As a sparky and what our going rate is in Sydney, I really think you guys do a lot more physically demanding work I think you should be paid at least $90 an hour for the sort of work you’re doing
Comment from : @yurrih5992

Great video Thanks for sharing bro
Comment from : @robberlin2230

$500 day rate (85hrs minus lunchbreak) in Melbourne is a must Otherwise you are short changing yourself after paying the taxman, super, sick leave, annual leave, tools, purpose built car for the job, profit as a business etc
Comment from : @steffengrossmann169

crazy how low the profits are
Comment from : @YOULTZY

bro admittedly I just saw a small bit of your vid, but I think you said you made 4 hundy per day and payed apprentice almost the same? ffs you gotta charge more, also that extra timber from bunnings, all you do is run it past client first that its extra and add it on If you run it past the client or principle contractor first and they ok the variation, its normal People only get upset when they get a bigger invoice than quoted without being told first 👌 I always aimed for a grand a day at least, even when I was just contracting, but I was doing membrane roofing and thats $$$$
Comment from : @zweed69

What a lad ❤
Comment from : @rulowth4815

Bro run a drop saw save so much time and much cleaner cuts brBut good video
Comment from : @Tommy-Gunnns

Awesom mate, appreciate the transparency Some of us dont really have anyone to compare our prices to so its nice to have an insight from someone in the same business Looks like my pricing and system is practically the same as yours

If you’re good at doing something, don’t give it away
Comment from : @Handleyman

You need to price in some risk One day you will get a call back Eg adding a stubb wall on top without ceiling joists means there is nothing restraining the top plate If the next guy does a raked ceiling the wall lining will crack at best
Comment from : @stephens2850

That’s a funny way to say “tubafour”
Comment from : @FallLineJP

Mate there ain’t no other tradies out there, no one can find people to do their jobs So charge accordingly Great channel:)
Comment from : @Teddieshandyhouseholdhelpers

Mate, $60 an hour as a subbie is literally less than $30 an hour on wages Seriously, please up your rates Way too low
Comment from : @roza9909

Dave you are a professional Plumbers and electricians are at $110 so should you That's minimum Not paying for time there paying for knowledge
Comment from : @Timberandtales

Video focusing on Quoting be great for us and probably you to reflect on
Comment from : @BrownCreature

Youre the man dave!! Do your thing my guy!
Comment from : @laidbackmilo6479

Man $25 ph for a 4th year is crazy!! Great vid and very interesting
Comment from : @Lucas-yy3dh

Good stuff mate
Comment from : @Coholbell15

Know your worth mate Dont worry about low ballers undercutting you Establish your position in the market with a higher profit margin and stay there If one of your paslodes fucked up you’d be in the negative Don’t forget your insurance, fuel, depreciation etc
Comment from : @rickybourne9119

Seem like an honest fella, thanks for the content
Comment from : @nrhoofcare7724

when you screw in the braces at 7:05 into the floor is the floor made of wood there? or what are you drilling into?
Comment from : @philb9550

nice vid think you could charge at least 50 more
Comment from : @colbywarshel

I’m a sparky and I have always envied the work of a chippy Working with wood and building looks legitimately fun! But damn the money looks low
Comment from : @Icemane1995

Hey why do you have to nog out a rafter in the outriggers?
Comment from : @ssssssssssssssss4110

Wow, span tables must be lax as with zero chance of snow
Comment from : @tristanpatterson3843

Definitely should be doubling your prices mate Hold yourself at a higher regard seems you do clean and quality work Better off working less but earning the same amount than working more but earning less
Comment from : @kaiielasi9431

Hey bro cool very video👌🏻 I would definitely be charging a bit more just remember to charge yourself out @ your brrate/hr and make sure to add margin for your buisness to thrive brbrAlso try charging your man out at 15x what you pay him👍🏻brbrObviously you are a talented young guy my advise as a 35 year old carpenter would be, get to know your own value and think bigger and more outside the box in the way of what you should/could be charging I know the feeling that goes through your mind on br“AM I CHARGING TOO MUCH”brJust remember you have invested time & money to acquire these skills and this is your time to make good coin 💵 you can always come down on price to win a job brbrYou are going awesome and a great example of what a young tradie should be, keep up the good work 💪🏻
