Hi guys,
I have set up on my own and find quoting jobs a real struggle.
I have quoted for jobs in the past and won them, but wondered if anyone can offer any tips/advice on what to include, or how to price competitively without doing myself out of the job or out of pocket.
I always worry I will either be too high and loose the work, or too low and work for nothing.
An example of a job I am currently in the process of quoting for is as follows:
Rewire -2 up 2 down terraced house consisting of: Front lounge, back open plan kitchen dinner, hall, upstairs bathroom, bedroom 1 and 2, landing.
In total - 13 double sockets, 7 of which require chasing out
4 single sockets high and low level
6 pendants
1 bathroom light
4 1G switches, 2 2G switches, and 1 3G switch
3 TV aerial points
8 spot lights in the kitchen
1 cooker point and 1 low level outlet
Mains smoke alarms (thinking 3, heat in kitchen, optical and ionisation for hall and landing)
1 low voltage fan to be cored in bathroom
6 switched fuse spurs - 1 for boiler, 1 for fan, 4 for kitchen
1 baton lamp holder to go in loft
1 shaver socket
A new 10way C/U with test on installation
What would you say would be a competitive quote on a job like this? Or can you offer any advice on pricing up such a job?
I hope this thread will help any sparks who struggle with quotes etc. and feel more comfortable pricing jobs up.
Cheers!!
