Tough One To Price

[Lurch]

4 X 2 = 8 + 2 switched = 10 points*

1 point for the switch, so 9 in all.

 

[musicspark]

Apache is correct, I said each gang equals a point therefore 2gangs equals 2 points. 8 lights and 2 switches effectively so 10 points in all.

I see, someone (Bez) said 1 point is a bit of cable sticking out of the wall which is what I had in my head, rather than your earlier post.

I make it 10, obviously.

After all that how much is the price?

 

[Bez]

I reckon by the time I've worked the mark up on materials in they won't get much change out of 12k

Sounds fair but price it up well you don't want to be out of pocket and make sure you get stage payments if its for someone you have not worked for before.

I take it that calculation of points is for pricing. Would it not be 9 points when entered on the EIC?

8 on the EIC.

Sorry, I meant 8:coat

Pricing only, yes. Remember it isn't written in stone, just a guideline that makes estimating quicker. It's served me well in the 8 years I've been in business. If it's a rewire you up the time per point depending on the circumstances i.e is the property empty or occupied, you get my drift.

As to when people can try the spreadsheet I made, well you'll have to ask admin or the moderators, I actually uploaded it Sunday morning as yet it's still awaiting approval.

A little bit more info on it. You have an excel workbook comprising of 5 separate worksheets. They are:

1, Summary sheet, where you enter customer name, address, phone number, estimate ref number, hourly rate, profit rate etc. It also tallies total hours, days, weeks, total materials cost, total profit etc

2, The work schedule. You just type it as you would in word:

Lounge

4 x twin sockets

2 x light switch

1 x TV socket

etc

it allows you to input times per point which when you print the work schedule remain hidden.

3, Materials list

4, Estimate letter. This is pre-written and refers to the work schedule It automatically fills itself in when you enter details on the summary sheet and likewise figures are calculated.

5, Contract (should you wish to use one)

 

[NozSpark]

Sounds good...

Is it something you did or did you get it from somewhere??

 

[binky]

It's the bit you don't want to sit on

That's where me pencil went :^O

 

[Bez]

There's beer in it for you

Guinness :YGuinness:YGuinness:Y
