Hey Jeff, you can still price these types of jobs by using a linear foot measurement. Just average it out with your time and material method and then when you work faster your making better money. $1,500 a day running two or three crews is good but you can do better than that if your using higher volume equipment, good soap and a faster routine down. We did a 35,000 complex a few months ago in 5 days. Most of the buildings I do we knock out in 2-3 days.
Henry a lot has changed for me in two, three years. That $1500 was for 2 or three guys. Now its more like $2500 give or take. The minimun a guy makes for me now is about $500 a day and usually much better than that. My numbers are way up the only number that is down is my labor cost. I use a lot less man hours now to do jobs. Example we did 70K more work this year. Last year I had $130K in labor cost, this year it is under 100K big savings. We now do complexes in 25% less time and sometime we actually cut the time in half.
As for measuring I personally do not have to. I really know how to price by the style of the buildings.
2006 is sooooo long ago for us now. Its a whole other world for JL. We have really stepped it up to a different level now
