How to notify LABC??

If doing other works then around £250 - £300. If just a board change and test then £400

when you say other works i presume you mean on top of the db change, if so, why less money for more work?

lol i know im pretty new to doing any PJ's and pricing for my own work but.......

The way I see it is that you are already there doing work so already got tools on site. Got to be careful because if you are making 300 profit on a board change and say £200 on another job then you start to take the **** and people won't use you if they feel that your £500 for a day is a rip-off (which they will). I try to be fair and not too greedy.

Good point and good advice! thank you!

i know it depends on alot of things but how long would you give yourself for a board change?

 

[Cirrus]

If just a board change then to get it nice and neat I reckon on an hour or so.

wow! i think it would take me a couple, i presume thats not including testing?

do you call out edf (or whoever) to cut the seal so you can isolate the board or just cut it yourself?

 

[Cirrus]

No, certainly doesn't include a full test. I always cut the seals if I need to. If it is my only point of safe isolation then I won't wait for the power co to get someone out. Never had any issues.
