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.

    "It was an acceptable price for the work and value for money. It was o.k. with me." 

    Of academic interest, how would this be determined, if not by comparison?

    Being an estimator and a tradesman I use my personal experience and knowledge to assist me in deciding. The service offered was efficient, the fitter polite and helpful, the job was done well. I am very happy. I could not have done it better or cheaper myself. It is the same with my local garage when I get my vehicle repaired I do not even get an estimate in some cases as I know them and they are honest and economical. For major repairs yes I do get an estimate, but for small repairs no. I am happy with their service and have been for many years. Also the garage is sympathetic at MOT time as well. It is not all about money. Good service and efficiency are important too.
