as mentioned in a previous post i wanted to use my sisters property as a way of joining elecsa,after a previous quote she had for a rewire of ÂŁ3600 like for like but incorporating pvc channeling all around the house! i tried to quote for this myself but as the costs of labc elecsa and insurance books etc added up as well as a propper job ( i think?) i quoted ÂŁ1800.i sent her a list of works in the style of original quote and she just rang me saying her husband wants a list of how i came up with the quote ie materials etc..
will try to add my list of works to thread but a document file any ideas how i can do this because i don't know how?

i have spent alot of time and effort into this and i know material wise they are going to knitpick every item in a materials list that i have roughly put together on a peice of scrap papper.
i dont mind doing a materials list or explaining to them that they are paying nearly a grand on getting it sighned off because i have added nearly 30 extra sockets where needed mostly chased and where possible a total rewire.

one of the problems i have is the amount of cable generaly used on a 3 bed house 2.5 ,1.5 any ideas? apart from walk!!
 
3 bed semi I would allow for 300 meters of 2.5 t&e, 200 meters of 1.0 or 1.5 t&e, then obviously anything for things like cookers and shower circuits etc.


Although looking at your price being half price of other I would be mentioning to my sister that if they aren't happy maybe they should consider the other quote as it sounds like she may try and push you price down further.
 
^^^ agreed.... tell him to produce you a list of materials you need ...!!!! i hate smart a r s e s!

also if he is that worried about the price tell him to go with 3.6k one!

walk away and find a less hassle job to use..!! why not just change your CU in your House!
 
Tell him that you work it out per point, and if he still wants a breakdown of mats give him a wholesalers catalogue and tell him to work it out for himself, in HIS spare time. Liberties or what ?
 
i could honestly give or take this job, however seing as my brother mother and father are living there and the challenge involved want to do it. i was totaly stressed with giving them the quote but the work and cost involved on my own pluss always added extras unforseen circumstances etc thought if anything i have under quoted.

said i wouldn't charge for labour so if anyone got a similar material list handy?
