  • Pricing on perforated metal...

    Got a call from someone wanting some perforated pieces done. Got a size of "1 foot 6 by 6 foot 8" each total of 170sq. ft. for all pieces.

    What's pricing per square foot on this stuff? Thank you!

    I think he also mentioned this was either 22 or 24 gauge...

      $1.50? $2.25 a square foot? I really need to get this guy a price asap. Any help is appreciated, especially for anyone who has done it in the past.

      FYI, I think I can only do one of these at a time, MAYBE 2 of them, doubt 3 will fit, limited by oven size.

        Went out on a lim on this one and priced them between $2 and $2.25 a piece. Quoted customer $25-$30 a panel. Hopefully this is about right.

          You already submitted a price but,
          What size? How many parts? What prep will be involved?
          They are 1.5 by 6.5 feet. There is a total of 14 pieces. They are bare metal and might only require some cleaning, maybe light blasting. This is per the customer's description.

            I may be reading this completely wrong but some of the powders list coverage by the pound between 50-140 sq.ft. You said these parts were @170 sq.ft. and you were charging $30 a piece?

              Am I missing something? If you are quoting 2 to 2.25 per sq ft the price would be 40 to45 per piece.

              The panels are roughly 20 sq ft ea. aren't they?

                Total square ft. for all panels is 170. There are 14 units. That's roughly 12.15sq. ft. per panel.

                12.15x2.25 = 28 bucks

                That was a rough estimate without knowing the color or exact size down to the inch.

                  Not trying to bust your balls but at 1.5 by6.5 thats 9.75 per side 19.5 total per piece for $43.87 at2.25 per sq.ft.I know you said you were guessing at the price but thats a $210 differance in total.One of you is going to be eating that.Hope it's not you!Hopefully your customer knows the differance between an estimate and a quote.

                    Last piece of perforated steel I did as an experiment actually got really good coverage by just doing a light coat per side, the powder is able to wrap around each hole and around the edges to cover both sides evenly.

                    I called a local coating shop and was quoted $30 per panel. That should be close enough. This seems like a fair price to me and what I would expect to pay for a job like this. I have put in a few bids for small production runs and never get any of them, so I'm sure they must be getting great deals somewhere else. I would be happy just to get one of those jobs and adjust pricing as needed for future runs lol...

                    Thanks for all the help everyone.
