Evening all,

This is a ridiculously long thread, so I dont expect anyone to read it all so I think I'm just looking to see if I'm in the right ball park. I have a friend (experienced electrician) helping me with this job and he will look over the quote as well, but I'd appreciate some opinions from you guys as well in the meantime.

I fully appreciate it's impossible to give much advice without having a lot more information, I think I'm looking for 'yeah, that looks about right' or, 'no thats way too much or too little' if possible.

Very briefly.. RCD protection on all circuits, Main bonding and earthing ok.

My quote ÂŁ4953 (mainly priced p/point), based on all white sockets/switches. Approx extra ÂŁ200 if wants LED GU10's.

Cheers guys! :uhoh2:

Every business is different, and there is no system on the market which can caterer for every subject.....its takes time to setup but once done will save valuable time...excel is quite simple ..list materials you use in sections per sheet, eg, cable one sheet, consumer units and rcds etc on another sheet etc. each section you can enter cost, quantity and time....once finished your end quoting sheet will display cost, material markup, man hours and labour markup, giving you the overall view of the project, the sheets per section will prevent you from missing vital equipment such as containment....takes time to setup, but becomes just enter quantities when finished.
 
75 points for ÂŁ4953 so about ÂŁ66 per point


Sounds a bit high to me!

agreed and the customer is supplying some bits as well.

Well, it's looking like it is too high then.

I shall revise and also wait to see what my friend says.

I think the other quote for ÂŁ6000 is throwing me a little!

I dont think you can just look at it as ÂŁ66 per/point though Murdoch. That would mean the 3 extractor fans getting fitted for ÂŁ198 which would be a bit cheap I think.

I shall sit down with my ale and go through it in greater detail.
 
This is basic domestic work and one man band rates imo so you price it to win the job if want it.

Working at a price per point is a good guide, but I look at the bigger picture and know what I can do in a day and that's the best bet imo
