[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 481386, member: 250"] I guess I am in the "Murdoch" camp here...…………. The reality is with a lot of domestic work it is you, (The Electrician), who needs to come up with some sort of specification, as the homeowner just has a verbal list of things to do or things they think they need.... After an initial site visit I normally write up, (e-mail or hard copy), a description of what I am going to do + the cost... Only after the customer has accepted it, will I order any materials and do any work... If/Or when, they mention any alterations just mention to them how much extra it will cost (hourly rate + inconvenience factor)... which means either you make BIGGER bucks than standard work rates... Or Mr customer changes their mind and keep the original plan... So either way its Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!! Guinness [/QUOTE]
