I have never been able to make per point pricing pay me more than my £95 per hour rate.Not necessarily, people constantly want prices off you so instead of sitting down for hours on end working stuff out time and time again you just give them a price per point.
That's what we do when we are doing these insurance jobs. Ours is £60 per point, doesn't matter what it is, its £60. The fans cost us more than £60 to buy and sometimes so does the shower cable and pull cord, not to mention the smoke/heat alarms with lithium batteries but when a 1 gang light switch is also £60 then it evens itself out again. Its surprising how near the total always is to what we would want if we priced the job anyway or did it on a day rate.
The exception is if its only 3 sockets in a bedroom but they take all day to do, sometimes its a non payer but most of the other bigger jobs make up for it.
For example a bathroom refit with 4 spots , 1 switch and a fan you would come out at 6 points so £360 all in ? there is no money at £60 per point on a job like that Imo
I would probably be 4 hours + materials so a job like that say all in with decent materials nearer £600
