Points pricing...

[sythai]

Just looking at alternative option for pricing, by price per point. And wondering what you chaps charge per point. Here's a job I've just finished, kitchen as below:


7 x double sockets
4 x switch fused spur
4 x unswitched surface socket (appliance) in cupboard
1 x cooker switch + 3m tail out to cooker
1 x 2way light switch
1 x 4 gang light switch
2 x 1m track light with 3 x GU10 per tarck
8 x gu10 down lights
- install new ring back to mains board, (30m x 2.5 tne and rcbo)

total all in came to £1150

Just want to see how this would compare to price per point?

Thank you,

Sy

Before I answer that question can you give me the total of the materials? I price per point, but slightly different from the rest.

£500 materials was customer price........ after my mark up

£75 for a power point, £50 for a light. The more you want the cheaper it becomes

How would you price for the new ring back to board ? Or would that be included in points price ?

 

[Voltimax]

Well I would have allowed 1 hour per point and times that by my hourly rate (4gang switch would count as 4 points), then add the materials.

I don't think you'd have to worry about pricing back to the board since both our prices would have been higher than your actual

I tend not to price per point as it leaves no room for potential problems or time delays
I see youve priced £ 650 for labour in wiring testing and fitting up
Id stick to estimating in days mate as if you give fixed price per point , it may sound great and easy to work out, but when you encounter problems that slow you down it will cost you in lost earnings

if extra sockets or switches price per point is fine, but on scale of kitchen id stick to hours and days

good luck

I only follow one rule when pricing,

How much can I get away with!
