I'm fairly certain that's a bargain.

I'm fairly certain that's a bargain.

I'm thinking its cheap! Do you recon the time scale sounds about right?

 

[Lurch]

If it's fairly straight forward and uncluttered then I'd say yes, for a non-problematic house. I'd usually say 5 days 2 men, slightly more than double for 1 for a rewire of a similar spec to that.

 

[sellers]

yeah sorry, forgot, not lived in and I'm not patching up. So could be right, may add an extra day on for safety.

 

[SPECIAL LOCATION]

I'm fairly certain that's a bargain.

Concur.. :|

unless are you surface clipping it?

1620 / 9 = 180 per day

you then need to half that to allow for Tax, business admin costs etc..

only leave

Piece of cake then. I'd be interested to see what anyone else has to say on the price though, I'd have charged more than that 5+ years ago.

Rough guide for a re-wire I spotted in another thread was 1 Day per room + 2 Days for Board, Testing & mucking around.

It looks like youve priced at

 

[androiduk2002]

Not ever priced an electrical job but used to price air conditioning jobs a few years ago and one thing i always allowed when pricing a job was a CUF.

oh by the way CUF means a cock up factor.

Wouldn't that be a Cock Factor Up?

ok, think i'll put you in the picture a bit more aswell. Lost my job this week, i knew it was coming the firm is getting rid of a lot of men, and as the list went down another lad and I were next on the last in first out.

I have been wanting to go self employed in the next couple of months, so this has given me the kick up the arse to go do it now. Got 2 bungalow rewires booked in, cu change, and a few bits and peices. Ideally I'd like to get this job as it would be a bit more of a safety net. I know another electrician is pricing it maybe more?

 

[Bez]

If you're happy with you're price mate, go for it. What I wouldn't like to see though is us carving each other up on prices. All that will do in the long run is drive prices down.

Good luck on your new venture

By the way did you know that last in first out is now against the law to use in selecting which person is to stay and which is to go

Keep forgetting you weren't fully self employed. If you reckon you can make money from it then go for it. I'd be inclined to say you'll want to up the prices a bit once you're established, but

Re-wire to similar size property early last year worked out at

 

[Voltimax]

1.5 hours per point.

12.5 days.

Not forgetting on 2 gang switches, each gang is a point

 

[revjames]

[Voltimax]
