Surely missed a 1 off the start of his quote

£14,500 (not including the cctv which I would price seperat)

Wouldn’t touch it for less than 14 grand , if they want it done for under 14 grand they can find somebody else

I think my £1120 is perfectly ok for the region I work in, all though I appreciate people’s opinions on higher prices. I’m still slightly expecting to hear that a “typo”was to blame!!

How much profit would you make on that job ?
i did 2 x similar new builds last year for 10k each and made a substantial amount of money . 5 - 6 weeks total job - 3-4 k materials your earning nearly 2k per week ?

i was fairly generous on my materials estimate, I allowed 5k for all the materials. And gave my self 9k to get the job done.
if I really wanted the job and if it was good builder who I regularly did work for I would do it for less...

I have under cut a spark again, op must be you Lol.

 

[Pennywise]

lol jesus we'd be closer to £15-20k for that lot, south london/Surrey area. He's going to get burnt! if he cant see that then you probably dodged a bullet and he'd have been a pain in the --- client anyway.

more thank likely , the company I used to work for in south London who did big upper market houses would easily be £20,000+ and some.
we often did domestic jobs with £90-100,000 spent on electrical
