Prices per circuit

[nicsin02]

Hi guys, for youse guys out there that price testing work, how much do you charge per circuit? i think to charch £15 - £20 per circuit but a company from down south has started to steal some of our work with £7.50 per circuit, our gaffer has started to price jobs at £7.49 per circuit just so we have work and we have noticed that its putting far too much pressure on us testers, anybody else having such problems, cheers

I've read NAPIT suggest average of 45 minutes [0.75 hours] per circuit. That is an average for domestic circuits. Time saved on simple circuits, cooker, shower etc... will be taken on complex circuits, RFC, radial sockets and lighting.

Any pressure to compromise safety must be put in writing to your supervisor/manager/employer. It is not easy, I've been there. I've also represented people at Tribunal claiming unfair dismissal after breaches of safety procedures.

Always remember an employer can only act upon information available. If they have not been formally notified, they have no duty to act, because they can say thet were not aware of the matter!
