Answers:
My company charges $55.00 per man hour and a $50.00 trip charge for a delivery of material. We also purchase at wholesale and sell at retail. This figure is to cover our company expenses like advertising,insurance,tools, workman's comp, unemployment, accounting, fuel etc. My guys and gals earn between $8.00 and $14.50 per hour and I have 40 employees. This project is manageable for a single person however you may need a license if you are doing electrical wiring for hire. More, if you install the walkway incorrectly and someone is injured by your negligence you may be liable. Be smart and do some research on how to install the sidewalk to make it both aestethically pleasing and safe!

Good Luck
