[martin28]

Would really help to get some sort of idea. Cheers

 

[loplug]

That's not enough sockets

look at a website called which to give you an idea of prices in the area you are in.
my advice for first one on own is factor in how much labour time would be involved how much materials what hourly rate you want and how much customers in your area are paying.Also how much your new company needs to keep going.

you might be better joining the pub as pricing on open forum can give the wrong impretion to the general public and your competitors.

Minimum of one hundred BILLION dollars!



From now on, every 'can you do my pricing for me' thread that comes up, they're getting this!

Sorry OP, I don't mean to be mean, but only you can work out what you need to make a living

As a guide
2 bed-£2,000
3 bed - £3,000
4 bed - £4,000
and so on

extras include shower, utility room, boiler thermostats control cables, well supply, downlights, etc

aim for 3 sockets per bedroom, 5 for normal kitchen and 5 for lounge. (All double)

how ow I started I put a table together on excel, worked price to me with TLC Cat price then added 20% then doubled it. That gave a price for the whole job!

First 2 or 3 expect to make a little less than orgionaly planed, as there will be things like wall plugs, screws, earths leaving, extra cable, damaged screwdriver/drill bits that you didn't count for!

first house I rewired when I set up on my own, I made 20% profit instead of the 45% I planned! now I'm hitting 60%. It's all practise

If you can't price a job should you be running your own business?

I'm currently installing a new build, 3 bed house, 1 on suit, 1 larder, 1 utility room, 1 HUGH kitchen, 1 well supply, 1 backup shower supply (if they go from well water to mains - won't ever happen!), electric underflood heating upstairs, addressable thermostats in each room, combi towel rads

customer agreed at £4,500 and they supply all sockets, light switches, etc.

around 60% profit at moment until they boarded the bloody kitchen roof halfway through first fix - all cables run through kitchen in this 30ft long kitchen in roof only 2ft high!

IM NOT HAPPY!

It's a learning curve, I'll give the OP that, but one that he must experience alone I'm afraid. I keep saying this word..... 'Variables!'

everyone needs to start from somewhere. If you can't say something useful than that, then better be quiet, there's no need be harsh to be new guys mate.

There is nothing that cannot be solved in this situation, with a hammer, and the right attitude.

That's a little harsh, reckon most of us, freshly out, took a time to nail that one.
