pricing a job

[joebb]

Hi All,
I ve just been to price a job and would like a bit of feedback on the price I think i should give. I m thinking around £600 for the following work

Outside security lights x2
6 LV lights in hallway
Change 4 fittings
8 LV lights in dining room
8 LV lights in bedroom
Intercom.

£600 for the materials + your time?

way too cheap, hard to price with no information ,,

nearer £1500.00

 

[Lucas]

Security Lights = £120
6 LV lights in the hallway = £ 300
6 LV lights in Dining room = £300
6 LV lights in Lounge =£300
4 fittings = £100
No idea for the intercom sorry

That's on a price per point at £50 per fitting. Comes to £1120 altogether

I would tend to Agree with Lucus and Eddie £1200 / £ 1500 plus vat

Are they supplying the gear? Whats access like underfloors etc? How many days do you reckon (without breaking your neck)

Even at £150 a day you have no money for materials on job

Best way too price a job is £50 per point, works out about £30 labour and £20 on materials.

If you're talking about lv downlights, the last lot i got were about £14 per fitting (fire rated), thats about £300 quid just for the lights!

you are way too cheap
