Need to quote for a new build

[malcolmsanford]

Always found some builders sand placed in pipes tended to get them excited or borrowing the 'O" rings off of traps and not telling them seemed to get them agitated, but plumbers are an excitable breed

So a would you charge fitting the new consumer unit as a price per point?

That being the same price to put up a pendant?

I really need to know how new-builds are priced exactly to get my price right, and how it's wrote down on your estimate plus any additional small print needed on it..

Is it literally every single connection made will be a set price? The CU being one connection, obviously testing is all in on it

 

[malcolmsanford]

If the contract is asking you to break down your costs for each item then that's what you need to do.

So as the guys have said

sockets 45 per point
Lights 25 per pendant 20 per switch
CU install 350 pounds inc connection
Bonding 175 inc main and supplementray
cooker points 150
shower 225
Testing 300 inc certificates and notification

Etc these are rough guides and dependant on where you are, what your overheads are and how badly you need the work.

Do you need to seperate your material, will you be running TV. CCTV, Cat. Telephone and extension.

Fire alarms NICEIC say you need to fit a system to every rewire or new work

Emergency lighting, some building department insist on an emergency light above the CU

So all this you and you alone can only really work out

CU install 350 pounds inc connection

inc connection to what?

You would need to be clear that any costs associated with the provision of the supply by the DNO are not included

 

[TPES]

Ok, I get you with your costing, but I thought the common way was to have one set price per point... And that covers every point in that house?

Have any of you done it this way?
If so how do you itemise it?

 

[Amp David]

My price per point would be calculated to allow for thing like a CU and bonding.

Sounds daft but I saw a contract by a company that quoted a board fit but not connection of the circuits, that was an extra !!!!
