What's with the signs and numbers? are you a sub or a hired welder.

[mjz6150]

Right now hired welder, not sure what's up with these numbers, to early to know what they need in future

[mjz6150]

You have your own welder that you've used on a job.

Don't know how to bid a job if your not a sub contractor unless it's T&M.

[mjz6150]

Well if I sub the job , which might be better, thou I don't carry sub contractor license , what would t&m be for a 2 month job. I'll know more Monday , if he wants a contractor  number I'll be out anyway, 

[Bls repair]

If he wants you to bid he would have to give you a list of all the work they want done ,with blue prints .Anything not on the list would be an extra .A bit of advice ,any extras get in writing exactly what they want done and how they should be billed ,preset price T&M.

[Bls repair]

T & M is time and material used.Setting the rate per hr depends on the going rate in the area .Don't fall for the "we have a lot of work comming so can you cut your rate "ploy.

[mjz6150]

Thx , my torch set up as well, $ 30 per hr or   the different types of work, that's what I'm not sure how to do that?

[mjz6150]

Not sure why the numbers there. 

[Bls repair]

Call welding shops in area and ask what their rate is so you are in ball park . Gas ,welding rod ,grinding wheels ,tips,ect,ect.are considered materials.Doing the actual work is what the rate is for .How are you going to weld or torch on the seventh floor

[mjz6150]

Have to rent the extra leads and hoses,
