How do you price rewires

[pcam1984]

Hi guys,

Just wondering how you go about pricing rewires. I currently price for materials and then estimate the length of time it will take for myself and an apprentice to complete the work, and multiply this by my hourly rate.

I was speaking to a friend who prices his materials, and has a set price per circuit, and a price for containment and raggles, then a price for testing.

Just wondered what your methods were.

Cheers

I think the majority on guys on here tend to price by the point on here when it comes to rewires

That will vary greatly depending on lots of factors. You can work out a per point price tailored to you by dividing previous profitable jobs of a similar by the number of points provided.

guestimate how long it will take you to install each point . from bare wall to finished point. Add cost of materials. = price per point.

And don't forget that your location will have a huge bearing on the price too

Electricians: how much should you pay? - Which? Local

I came across this link recently- quite a handy guideline

Price per point and adjust this depending on number of points on a sliding scale basis and also if excessive chasing is required , add the bonding and consumer unit and additional items such as light fittings , any special order items or appliances on top ...

Almost forgot price for moving furniture if excessive , i.e. packed house etc..

that's a pretty good guide, but the rewire prices should specify a void property. if it's occupied, add about £1000 to each.
