I would bid according to your owned preferred labour rate: time you estimated to complete the job * $$ per hour you want to get like many thing: there is always difference in bids... this formula seems most reasonable to you and the home owner...

I did a ceiling for a friend and the total ceiling cost about $200 for the grid and $300 for the tiles and It was about 6 hours to do. So I just charged labor plus the materials and came up with the price.....
