Install 4 meters of twin section data trunking (pvc) with 8 double sockets. New supply to be installed length approx 30mtrs. £178
 
If we are talking about dado trunking that will house the 8 sockets then the two lengths (3m lengths) of decent trunking will take that £78 up on it's own, the back boxes are generally twice the price of standard back boxes too!! So it looks as if you'll be paying for at least a part of this installation yourself!! lol!!


Way to cheap mate, ...i hope you haven't quoted that price to the customer yet??

I have installed thousands of meters in schools fella and always quote 60 quid a meter plus vat, it works out pretty good, so that would be 240 plus vat, however dado comes in 3 mtr lengths so you have to buy 6 mts, so you need to add the missing 2 mtrs to that quote as well, I know you are not installing it but the trunking and lids needs to be paid for. Now that price at 60 quid a meter is a very competitive one when I am up against several companies, if possible I would add to that myself, then you have the 30 mtr supply? which has not even been discussed yet 178 is way to short, 500 plus vat more realistic.
