prices

lol voltimax if you call me giving a simple and straight answer to a simple and straight question throwing figures around i,d love to see how complex your pricing system is.

and me giving an answer to a question is highly unlikely to send this business down the pan now is it.

Be prepared for hassle at the end of the job when you ask for your money then lol, a basic rewire on a four bed semi could mean ANYTHING, the only thing certain is at the end of the job what you think it means for £2600 will be VASTLY differant from what the client THOUGHT he was getting for the same £2600!!!

Bert my pricing system is pretty complex actually. I use a spreadsheet that doesn't really miss much and I break things down to the smallest detail. It's too easy to miss things.
With regard to my comment on the industry going down the pan, I was merely trying to state that you giving your price to someone else and them using it could be detrimental in their area. If they take your average price as written in stone and it isn't enough (due to your average spec not being the same as theirs), then they will be doing work cheaper than everyone else due to an unrealistic price and that harms the contractors that price realistically.
At the end of the day his question can't be answered that easily, as many people besides me have already pointed out.

and if thats the price i quote and thats the price the customer agrees on then wheres the problem.

that is true as ive had it done to me,and maybe i jumped in too quickly with my answer.

(could have got a job out of it though eh lol)

I think nikmet means if you quote that figure without a detailed schedule of what the customer gets exactly for that fee, then there might be trouble :smile5:

Might still be able to mate

To me a basic rewire is what it says,exactly as it is all replaced with new,nothing extra and nothing less.

 

[Voltimax]

Means the same to me too, but you know what it's like these days. Unless you specifically state what you'll do for the price you're asking, the customer will try to pull your pants down

 

[BertUK]

all too often!

Here's a rough guide of what people are paying around the uk

Electrician Prices - Estimates of the cost of electrical jobs

 

[Marvo]

Full rewire
3-bed house £2781
5 bed house £8389

That's £2804.00 per extra bedroom. Wow!

 

[Liamsparks]

Are these prices coming from electricians or DI's?

 

[Voltimax]

I really wish that people would stop posting that link. Ponty, you need horse whipping That guide is total garbage, if you want to get a better guide then visit the building sheriff website. Even some of the prices there have to be taken with a pinch of salt, but it's a better site than whatprice, where the prices are made up.
