How to calculate the price of joiner's products

How much should it cost Joinery - an issue that is worth solving, even when you are doing for yourself. After all, nice to know how much to save in the manufacture of their own hands. When doing something on the order, the right to name the price is simply vital.

If you look objectively, the price of the product consists of many things.

This is the price of material, transportation, supplies, power, room rental, depreciation machines and tools, working on the design, material preparation, manufacturing of parts, polishing, painting, assembly ...

Take into account all these factors are sometimes quite difficult, especially if the material is part of the residues or intermediates.

You also need to take into account the complexity of manufacture and the time spent.

According to the work too, not everything is simple: there is an opinion that it is necessary to consider the price per hour, depending on qualifications. Perhaps this is justified for established industries where they make typical things and how to take this into account for the home workshop ...

So how to determine the price of a piece of joinery products?

For myself, I think so: material costs should always be considered, and then the sum is multiplied by a factor of 3 to 5, depending on the complexity of the product.

In order to more accurately calculate the true costs, imagine that every dosochki, screw, nazhdachku, glue, varnish... you buy separately for the particular product. Consider also the waste that will deliver the materials. In general, all costs that really count.

A ratio can be more than 5, and it is not only dependent on the complexity of the product, but also the reputation of the carpenter.

I think to give a specific example.

Wardrobe bathroom.

For example, if you do it from the furniture panels, the material cost is about 1600 rubles. If you take the planed board, it may be slightly less.

Next - the mirror ~ 400 rubles. Accessories - 300 - 500 rubles. depending on the manufacturer. Paint, varnish - about 1000. Vehicles about 600 rubles. - shopping all soon have to travel a lot and for a variety of shops.

Total - 4100 rubles. - the cost of all materials. The cabinet has a coefficient of carvings and choose not less than 4, preferably 5. Then the price of the finished product should be 16-20 thousand rubles.

Since the cabinet did for myself, it is easy to calculate how much I saved.

This calculation is useful by the fact that if someone wants to see my locker the same, then orient at the price it will be easy.
