Price per point?

[monkey5]

just done some work for a new builder who ive known a while but he's always used someone else. he was left in the lurch when electrician couldnt finsh job so called on me. hes said he only pays

 

[ElectekAir]

One socket, first fix and 2nd fix so everything cable,box, socket face ect..

 

[Evans Electric]

It could mean anything Wayne .Whatever the builder thinks it means I guess.

Does he supply mats ?

 

[Monkeyboy]

I work on

I think that builders having a laugh and taking the p**s.

Does he know how much cable is these days.

 

[monkey5]

i supplied all the mats, there were 4 double sockets, 1 fcu, 1 x 3 g light switch, (plus back boxes) 2 outdoor PIR lights and a batten light. i extended a ring in to a new little extension, but cable was surface on outside of building in conduit due to locations. i think the other electrician didnt fancy it as the socket which was right next to new extension was a spur already. i probably used about 20m t&e (2.5) and 10m of 1.5.

I normally only work per point on full hits,

dont see how you can get it to work on modifications TBH, too many variables.

 

[Sidewinder]

sellers,

How do you cope with the "ancillary" bits, e.g. if the main bonds are not in place, do you charge

 

[sellers]

On his quote to the customer, it states the price and 'upgrades to your existing installation may be needed at a further cost'

I did have an arrangement with builder for Price per Point . Swings and roundabouts TBH , always made on the deal if there were loads of downlights.

I don't do it anymore because if they hold you up (as happens to us 2nd class citizens) you start to lose out , so I have an agreed hourly rate , if I'm on site I get paid . So when I'm trying to fit the C/U in a norrow passage and they are up and down all day and it takes me 3 times longer , I charge the the time .

No idea how builder quotes for the electrics , I think he does a percentage of the building works TBH.

 

[batty]

Don't use JCC led downlights you will be well out of pocket at

 

[Steve3948]

Well I take it

mats? as in for sitting on? or wiping one's feet?

 

[steptoe]

my price per point is based on a basic fitting, LEDs etc are extra, just the same as flat plates and chandeliers.
