Need Help Is there a pricing website that can guide me?

[BSGCA]

Hello! I am new to the site. Our business has been wrapping/lettering transit buses for over 17 years. We have many calls coming in for wraps and wall graphics. I have no idea how to price these. I understand location more than likely generates pricing but is there a guide that can assist me? Currently I need to price a wall graphic 21' x 13'.

Thank you.

Obviously without knowing anything about the job or your market it's impossible le to offer a quote, but for that size, with a local basic install ( ladders only, minimal prep work) we would be around $4k, design not included in that price.

$16 a square foot.

I agree with Canuck and Boudica, somewhere around 4k. Unless it's going on a brick or cinderblock wall, then I'd up it for the extra time it takes to heat roll every square inch of those damn things. That and the 3M TSA-4 roller is another $500+ if you don't have one yet.

Time & Materials. Seriously think about how long it will take to complete.

Start with your shop rate:

We're at $14 sq design, print, install. LA/Riverside area. It's a highly competitive market around here. We are using 3M Ij180/8518. 8 yrs. It's working. Hope this helps.

If it's an interior wall, we are at 7$/sqft including material and install (design is extra). And we lost some jobs at that rate. I'm in Canada and material is more expensive here compared to the USA.

That sounds awfully low. Interesting to see the range of charges in different areas.

We just did a temporary window 30ft wide X 14ft high. Cheap removable vinyl with lamination. Price was at 2.40$/sqft (material only) and we almost lost the job.

14 x 30 for a thousand bucks is working for less than free.

Agreed, something seems off there. I'd be around $9/sf, depending on the client. My material cost is more than $2.40/sf.

I'm in Canada as well, and I think it's too low as well. For basic wall graphics we are $12-14 sq/ft for print/lam and a basic local install (no scissor lifts and only basic prep)
