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.

    So for a big job such as a re-wire, do you quote one price, or a range?


    Donkeys years ago I used to have several quotation templates for  full rewires , 1 bed , 2 bed , 3 bed and so on


    so many points per room etc


    but nowadays this simply wouldn't cut it , there are just far too many variable now  like USB sockets or not USB sockets 


    every job now has to be fully estimated as a 'one off' project 


    I have just done a full quote for a 5 bed rewire and the quote alone has taken me about 6 hours + 1 hour visit to the house
