3000 divided by the two people who will be working
1,500 / 4 days = £375 per day
out of that £375 per days they need to hire scaffolding
pay for the lead
tiles
cement
sand
pay for their van and their diesel
they probably have a mortgage and a family so i guess they'd need to put some aside for food and holidays, clothes for when the kids go to school etc
they probably don't know when they're next job is coming along
3k is a decent spec Cannondale or a Pinarello for comparison
