Pricing/Quoting jobs - Advice or tips from anyone??

FWIW, & I'm not popular on here, my price would be circa £3k plus materials at cost + at least 30% markup, and I would struggle to fit it in at the moment.

Yep we are about the same, and like i said, it is not about being obstructive but about meeting each other half way
It is like when i have to do the deed with the mrs, i tell her either do your bit or your getting none of this badboy.:sifone:

looks more like a total rewire from that spec. lived in? all boards and carpets back down every night. i'd be nearer £3000 than £2000, just going by the spec., without seeing the job.

I think the more I quote the better I will be at it and the more confidence I will have in the price I would be putting forward.

I appreciate the input, it's good to know your not a million miles away with a price.

it is only a 2 up and 2 down though so not much cable really, a 3 bed semi with a few spots and I would be at 3k as well, unless I misread the list it was only 12 sockets and a 4 room house.

Correct, this is a quote for a full rewire on a 2 up 2 down terraced house.

Empty property, nothing has to go back at night, can make as much mess as I want as its all getting plastered anyway.

With that in mind what do you think tel?

13 doubles
4 singles
6 spurs
8 lighting points
8 spots

£2450 then as a ball-park figure. remember you need to make wages, cover overheads, and make a bit of profit on top.
