Joinery quote reasonable?

littlebluebird

I asked for a wooden platform, with decking on and then for a playhouse to be constructed on top. I am supplying playhouse, it's flatpack.
The quote I got was 450. I questioned it as I estimated the labour to be 200 as it's a days work, and about 150 for supplies. I asked for a breakdown between labour and materials but have had no reply.
Am I being unreasonable?

Customers are always very good at telling tradesmen how long a job should take. I did a decking job this week. 4.2 x 4.2 plus 2.1 x 2.1 pergola took 2 men 2 days.

So how long you think it takes itsn't necessarily hiw long it actually will take.

You would not get a reply from me either, you accept the quote or look else where.Most trades cant be bothered with customers that query quotes

I didn't say it was a day's work, he did. That's why I was questioning it.
Thanks for replies though.
