How long for handyman to construct bulk shipment of flatpack furniture?

Question

I'm starting up a B&B business and will need flatpack furniture putting together for five rooms. How long should I expect it to take a handyman to do this? And is it the sort of thing that's charged by the hour or job?

Mark · Answer

Hi, I normally charge by the item, as follows,

Bedside cabinet £20
3 drawee chest of draws £30
4 draw £40
2 door wardrobe £60
3 door wardrobe £90

I hope this helps with your enquiry 

Cheers

all folded furniture will be counted for the work in full

Too many unidentifiable parameters to answer this question how many...what type..cheap or quality.....i think you'd be lucky to find someone to quote on this generalization

Duncan · Answer

you could expect to to construct a standard table and say 4 chairs on a hour and a half a single wardrobes in 30 minutes
on advantage you can build 2 to 3 items a hour and a day rate of 180 pounds would get you around 14 small medium and large items built per day on a 8 hour day with one man

Ian · Answer

this all depends on the amount of furniture and the sizes of the flatpacks to decide the length of the job. However, this can be done by the job to cover all aspects.

this is something you would have to get a handyman to look at to gauge times and how it will be priced.

Derek · Answer

Should be quoted on hourly rate or room by room. Depending on exactly furniture depends time wise? I.e a full room wardrobe bed bedside cabinet etc a cpl hrs per room. Decent tradesman's should be a day at max.

I recommend that you find someone to work for you instead of hourly workers, because sometimes even though they seem cheaper by the hour, they end up being more expensive at the end

Patrick · Answer

Hi Pete. If you have ever tried this yourself you will know it can take an hour or more for a chest of drawers or a wardrobe or a bed. Once you’ve done a few the same it gets easier and thus quicker. Due to the nature of it being labour only I would suggest most would do it by the hour.

Bill · Answer

It depends how many items per room on how long it would take, as for cost it can be priced per item or per hour.

Mohammed · Answer

Hi 
I would need to know what type of furniture and quantity to give an accurate quote.
I would personally charge by the hour or full day/half day rates.I hope that helps.
