Are you cutting yourself or buying in from a supplier?

Buying in the cost me £70

What costs are you struggling with?
I usually price them as
a)Design & layout time
b) cost of materials plus a mark up
c) Installation time -
Yes just seem to be coming out too cheap

£70 does sound cheap, especially if it’s with template and locators.
If you’ve got to make the template & add the locators add another hour on, £110, then at least double that.
£250+ Fitting?

Think the £70 is the buying in price Dave.
The attached photo of the standoff letters cost me £134 in brushed silver dibond. In acrylic they would have been about £70. they come supplie with locators and template free, (so no work there), I would normally add a 55% mark up then a couple of hours for drilling and screwing on locators.It does not really matter to me if the buying in price is cheap or expensive as that just gets a mark up. I sometimes use a bit of flexibility here to adjust the price but my main costs in this type of sign for me are labour of drawing up the design & proofs and then fitting locators.
So roughly for me
1 hour design, £30
2-3 hours fitting £60 – £90 (this is the only bit which really takes time and varies depending how many locators to fix)
letters £108
total around £198 + VatARTWORK
