I would like to know what kind of difference in labor there should on trimming a steel house. It will have std base and casing and no crown. The door openings have wood attached already. We get $.90 ft for doing this in a wood frame house of this size, how much should steel be? The framers got $15 per sheet for sheathing so I dont want to be too cheap. Thanks

It's not a matter of what somebody else claims to be able to do the work for, it's how much will it cost you to do the work for and still make a profit.
Never less than 2x the standard price and adjust from there as you gain experience.
