EICR pricing advice.

[dtec dave]

I have been asked to do an EICR for a community centre, there are 9 consumer units throughout the building..just after a bit of advice on how you would go about pricing a job like this?

I would price it so I didn't get the work!

What level of EICR are they asking for?

Plus are there any Limitations to take into consideration ?

 

[Ian1981]

I would hazard a guess that the customer has no idea the scope needed i.e. What percentage to ask (I just want it tested) and neither understands what limitations are and how to go about justifying them.

 

[Billsays]

Depends how big the place is and how many circuits are on each board and as others have said how thorough you are testing........If it looks like a weeks work price accordingly.

 

[Leesparkykent]

I would charge around £45 per board and £12.50-£15 a circuit.

 

[Richard Burns]

I would tend to price it starting with a base of doing periodic inspections of nine houses and then assess any reduction you may be able to make from size of boards, ease of testing, limitations and extent, etc.

Nine consumer units seems a lot for a community centre but what you need to know is the amount of circuits. Most will charge per circuit or a fixed cost of say up to 15 circuits then a price for each additional circuit. Are you the only person putting in a price because if there is competition you maybe competing with the £5 to £10 brigade who offer the world but deliver Limitations.

So are you offering a 100% inspection?

 

[diditrain]

When was the place last inspected and tested, are records available, or are you going in blind?

Going in blind...nothing available..probably never been tested since install which I reckon was about 30 years ago.
