Which conduit ?

3" galv tray on stand-offs then cable tie SWA. future proofing for any new cable runs.:drool5:

If it was going to be done in SWA, I'd genuinely consider doing it this way as I hate clipping SWA!

Well without actually costing the materials myself I cannot confirm the price either way, however first impression it seems a good quote actually, works out about 3,250 ish plus vat.

Leds approx £500
Armour 200m £200
Cherry Picker £ 250
Glands accessories etc £100
2 way board £45
Dusk till dawn etc £60

Approx £1200 material
Approx £2000 labour ,

5 days , 40 hours @ 30/h = 1200 x 2(men) = £2400
£2400+£1200 = £3600+VAT.

Likely do it in 2 days though so prob pretty good now that Ive actually calculated it !

My 4k estimate was from the dartboard ;p

Big mistake on your cherry picker, unless you have one parked in your living room, cheapest picker is about £300 PLUS delivery which is usually around 80-100 depending on size.

Overall quote isn't far away I suspect, it comes down to margins now whether you want the job or not, another firm who needs the work would stick a pair on the job, the spark would be 25 and the mate 18 ish so 43 quid at 40 hours more like 1700.00 rather than 2,400.00. that said I like your price, lets hope the customer will agree.

 

[Guest55]

your price is on the high side to be honest

and £30 per hour for your helper / sidekick ?

savvy customers wont pay for that , no chance.
as others have said , more hungry contractors will happily undercut that by £500.

SWA all the way. Newlec do a very solid pvc adapt box with connectors (8025, I think), piranhna lock nuts for earth continuity.

Well good luck, if they do get other quotes you may lose it on the labour cost, I hope you get it, a job like this will be good for you, a change from rewiring a house a day haha

Yeah actually keen to do it will make a nice change !

Ive had a few jobs lately out with my field, was asked to quote on some maintenance work for the commonwealth games, but think Ive over priced that one slightly.
