Pricing

[rigga]

hi guys

as you can see im new to this forum , so im not to sure if anybody has posted a similiar post like this before.

basically im a electrician who works for a company who only do commercial and industrial work , but ive been given a opportunity to price a re wire of a house as i have not really done much domestic work apart from extensions , kitchens , conservatorys etc for family and friends. i could do with some ideas from you guys how to price a rewire of a house and roughly how much cable etc do you think i will need.

im obviously going to do myself a materials list and get some prices for that.

do people add money to materials ?
do people charge per point ?

just after some tips and help

appreciate any feedback

its a 2 bed house , ive been told if i get a electrician who has part p or test and inspec 2391 to do the board change and issue a completion certificate then i wont need to inform building control is that right ?

Tbh it's just a formula, fit the numbers to the area, in all honesty where ever you are in the country £600 covers the materials and that is using MK, takes me a week to do house to a good standard, crawling under the floors to clip cables, clipping in the loft etc etc, so if you get £80 / day then anything over a grand is profit down here I'm 350/ day but house bashing is less about day rates and more fixed price, I don't win them all but I have done 5 since November

ive been told by somebody else for a bog standard 3bed semi house the materials should come to at least £1000 and thats using crabtree stuff.

ive also been told by the house owner there may be a delay in getting walls plastered so im thinking of giving her a price for 1st fix and a price for second fix

They ll want to do all of it mate, Othewise there putting there name to your wiring!

 

[mattmoo1974]

Do it on a day rate and then when she starts adding extra's you wont be out of pocket and have to haggle with her about the extra's.

 

[rigga]

i was thinking of doing that then at least i wont be out of pocket but put me in good sted for future jobs

esp. if there's a delay between 1st and 2nd fix. i would deffo. split it into 3. work out price , say £50 per point, or cost out materials + time, suppose you come to a figure of £2700. 33% deposit, £33% on 1st fix, balance of 33% on completion.
