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.

    The cost of preparing a quote for a job between £1500 and £2000 is probably at least £80 with the site survey, writing a specification, obtaining quotes for specific materials, then compiling and submitting the quote to the potential customer.


    So at least 5% of the value of the job has been allocated to submitting the quote without any guarantee of getting the job.


    Accurate quotes are for serious potential customers only, not tyre kickers, they can only have a quick inflated quote to cover anything that may have been missed.
