Well your going to need insurance,1000$ a year
no facility in their right mind would let you on the property as a
contractor without insurance
who is supplying the ladders/lifts? these will be needed to service the
suspended gear
minimum IMO for what your asking is 45/hour with clause they pay for any
rental lifts or scaffolding, including set up/and removal
I would charge 65/hour for this work with a one hour minimum
I supply my own ladders suitable to 12 feet, above that I want a manlift
