What’s a reasonable amount to charge for labor for a 20x24 one story shed/barn?

Edit.

Board and batten siding Just gonna put the sill on blocks Two windows One barn door Birdsmouth rafters Shingles

Everything simple as possible

I am a newb. Only building things on my own since ‘Rona. Went to YouTube U.

No insulation or finish work at all. Just a big wooden shed.

I’m building it. Wondering what to charge.

Step 1: Design

Step 2: Materials Cost

Step 3: Labor Cost

Assuming you are serious- you need to follow the actual flow path of construction. Have you drawn it yet? I mean at minimum, drawing it on a simple drag and drop architectural type of program, or at least on a sheet of paper? Do you have to sweat building permits? Zoning? Then decide on structure and calculate the materials cost. (who is paying for materials?) After the first two steps, then you estimate Labor.

Well, that changes everything. Maybe add it to the post. If you have nothing better to do then just make sure you charge a reasonable rate and that materials are covered.

If it is for a potential wife then maybe charge less.
