If you don't get the job go a bit lower next time. If you do get it and loose money, go a bit higher next time.
If all goes well you are in the ballpark.
Sound like a good aproach to quoteing palms to me!
The next thing is guesstimating the amount of bulk waste you will get from various size heads a little more tricky.
