periodic inspection report charges

[sdosanjh]

Hi sparks jus bn asked to prep a periodic inspection report for a customer what should I be charging for carrying inspection and testing and issuing of a report!!!

Niceic registered domestic installer

 

[Andy™]

hourly rate x however many hours...

 

[kme]

Whatever your business paln calls for you to make per day, times no. of days this will take (or use Andy`s general formula above)

 

[steptoe]

Remember and allow time for compiling the report as well as actually on site.

 

[sdosanjh]

So I Shud/shouldn't be charging a set price for the certificate and the my hourly charge for carrying out the test

 

[Riggy]

A good "rule of thumb" estimate for me (it may not work for you, I don't know your costs, workrate, etc.) is

 

[kme]

Or, if you want to take the "other" perspective on this.......

As much as you think the customer will pay.

Do remember that a "standard" domestic Installer is NOT covered by the NICEIC to carry out EICRs (including domestics!) ; as not all dom. insts. have the necessary experience & competence. So purple forms are a no-no!!!!!

Thanks everyone for the advice and this why the forums are vital for any electrician to gain knowledge

It is encyclopaedia of knowledge put together by the very people it is suppose to help!!!!!

@ kme

What does that mean I'm 17th and 2391 qualified very capable and domestic and commercial properties does it still mean that I should be using the green forms!!!

 

[kme]

Not for EIC or MWC mate - but EICRs - yes.

If you want to issue NICEIC PIRs/EICrs, you need A/C status ( according to my AE)

Probably means you need to read the terms of your scheme membership if you don't know what forms you are allowed to use!!

:C

Maybe not that capable if you cannot work out a bit of simple job costing!

They used to do the option to pay a second fee for another half day for DI Periodic assessment!

Have they stopped that now??

Or simply use non NICEIC logo'd cert's for EICR's.

It's only there way of making more money from us.

Unless you only want to do domestic EICR's you can then do the NICEIC in house course & pay the yearly subscription & do the yearly assessment........just for domestic EICR's

Or do like the rest of us...............use easy cert (or the like) for EICR.

Personally I simply use non logo'd cert's for my EICR. Just set up my Easy Cert for that. To pay NIC extra just to use there certificates seems excessive.

 

[M107]

Thats what I do

Thanks people plenty of good advice it seems Niceic are just making money out us I've heard other people say this but never thought I would!!!! But in this day an age it seems that if ur not with the nic companies are not interested
