Electrical Estimating.

Zoomup
You have just visited a small house to look before providing an estimate for the cost of the work. It is a  small job and will cost between £1,500 to £2,000. Upon leaving, the householder says to you: "I will be getting other estimates".


Does this


a, Annoy you?


b, Not faze you?


c, Reduce your interest in getting the job?


d, Increase your desire to put in a really low estimate?


e, Make no difference?


g,  Other, please specify.


Z.

    I rarely reduce my estimates, it implies that the original price given was too high and puts you in a bad light with the customer. But occasionally I reduce the cost slightly for genuine deserving cases or if I have a bit of luck and the job is easier than I had expected. Mostly the estimated price  stays. I am not into being the lowest in the estimating contest/gamble.
