Pricing.

[Dave Appleby]

Usual an I too high question.

Before I say what I quoted....

Pricing please to change 140 flat panel ceiling lights for led.

Panals supplied but nothing else. No switching or zone changes. Apparently no other trades in

Full small supermarket but closed for change of ownership.

36 hours available for job including overnight.

Over to you.

Thanks
Dave

I would rather make no money and sign on the rock n roll than work at a loss

And......

Guess who called me at 11 last night?

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

 

[timhoward]

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Not Bueller, he would have been on line 2

 

[DPG]

Free Ferris!

I'd have paid good money to listen in on that call.

Wasn't actually very long... ??

£600 would be below min wage

Nah, 36 hours for the job, £600/36 = £16.66/hr.

Which is crap money for the job but someone's obviously happy with it.

140 x 60 £8400 plus disposal at £3 per tube 560 x 3 1680 (optional) Sensors, change switch arrangement, sort out any probs 1k to 3 K around 14k in all. Never been interested in prices that don't motivate me and make profit. Based on 20 mins per fit. That is with panels. Without - 3.5k less. No disposal less 1680. bringing it down to circa 8-10k

You are assuming 1 person could do it and no materials would need to be supplied, it's not necessarily purely labour only. As per post #14 its £4.29 a fitting. Add in something like a click flow, and it's down to about £2 a fitting.

As the OP has been called again, I guess it's all not worked out too well???

If the price is for X hours then that's X hours no matter how many men are on the job. If you charge for 2 you get it done twice as fast.

With everything supplied and you just doing the fitting, it's £16.66 an hour and you need to do 4 an hour.

Someone might have been happy, but subsequent posts from the OP would suggest it wasn't the customer.

If it's a respectable supermarket, for £600 I'd be expecting free weekly shopping for the next couple of years, as an Arthur Daley cushty. ?

And remember the customer will at this point not have much money..... We have all seen it ,done it , been there etc .Never get involved .Put the phone down with a smile and forget them

 

[Dave Appleby]

Apparently, and I quote the incredibly informative customer.

Nothing is working properly.

Are they expecting you to get involved?

They need to get the £600 guy back

I'm tempted to quote silly money.. But, honestly, I don't give a s*it.

Their choice

 

[Vortigern]

Well you should. And quote properly. At least everything is in situ. Rescue them get a loyal customer and nice bit of wedge. But....if it has really been b***lsed up then, maybe not.

It's a priced job, not an hourly rate, and from OP only thing supplied was the panels. If having to supply parts it could be under £2 a panel. I guess that's why nothing is working ???
