How long/many jobs did you need to bid jobs before you had an accurate (mostly) quantity of hours?
So far I’ve done 39 removals, 41 prunes, and 15 storm cleanups. I’m not so much worried about the dollar values as I am with the time values. I’ve had a few jobs take 50% longer than anticipated. Many have taken 25% longer, and a few went quicker. I’m trending towards underbidding. This is not disastrous in my situation as it’s not my primary source of income but I’d like to get it as accurate as possible.
I’m sure it takes time to develop the sense of time involved, but how long? Any tips or tricks you use?
