Hi all. Does anyone know what the going quote is for inspecting and testing a consumer unit or even a 3 phase DB? I know some companies quote by the circuits to be tested.

Hello
When you give a quote - how do you make money? I was asked to quote for some work, I traveled to the job spoke to the person traveled back home, then put a price together all in all about 2hrs.

Hi, got to go give a quote on some extra sockets in a kitchen. Would it be best to charge a set price per socket? Or work out materials and labour seperate? I am currently employed so dont do alot of jobs for myself.

Hi all,
I use an invoicing program called sliqtools. I'm very pleased with it and the other day I was talking to a friend who also uses it, due to my recommending it. The conversation turned to quotes and he told me he used it for submitting quotes.
I have to say I've never used it for this...
