The market will not hold that high of a profit margin (if the job actually took 16 hours). Off the top of my head (not knowing all the particulars), I would guess that would be a $7k – $8k job. Square footage pricing might be useful as a quick reference, but is no substitute for an estimate which should be based on an accurate assessment of projected labor time and costs.

This is where I was trying to get to. We use various methods to backward engineer jobs in order to maximize profitability while still working to be fair for the customer. You are correct. It is a 7k-8k job. The Quick reference was what I was looking for. It wasn't the be all end all.
Thanks for your input.
