Pricing Commercial EICR

[Stocksie]

I've been asked to price 2 large sites owned by a Haulage operator in Newcastle.

Theyv'e asked me to quote for the work as I did alot of work after they had a catstrophic fire in one of there warehouses ( tab dump in a bin). i re routed SWA's and generally go stuff up and running again. So all in all I suppose I'm in there as they seem happy with me and I know the maintenance guy there.

There are about 240 circuits to test in total,(main section board, sub section boards and TP&N D.B's) the maintenence guy (Rob) helped out with the last PIR, he knows the place inside out and he will be with me all the time im there.

I'm a sole trader and thankfully always really busy so I dont need to buy the work I'm not the greatest fan of Insp & Test but it is all labour (initially) which is a plus.

Access to be provided by the client (cherry picker/fork truck & man basket)

How do you guys price such a job ? Price per circuit, day rate and approximate how many days.

Thanks !

It's not r***ge transport is it ?

Just that maintenance guy is called rob, we installed all new lighting in the building that burnt to the ground (yikes) I would be allowing half hour a circuit and plenty admin time to verify Certs, print schedules and present.

No mate, lad called Pete.

I had 20 min per circuit but your prob right with 30, ball ache most of the time

price per circuit on bigger inspections , its easier to come to a figure.
submains & radials will be quick and easy , 15mins each , lighting & rings around 45 mins.

So you guys would be talking £13-£15 a circuit then?

 

[Stocksie]

Yeah I'm getting something like that. Seems cheap though for how involved it will be though.
I'm confident at how thourgh I am though. I think stuff is often skimmed over though on PIR's.The last one I did the last report was done from the guy's desk,so many errors and so much overlooked it was laughable

That seems a tad expensive... £3600 for 240 circuits

 

[C&H]

not far away imo

 

[sparkymalarky]
