Pricing ?

[SensesFailYou]

I think your about right maybe £350 for board and test and I charge for light and same for switch

Charge for light and switch? Do you mean Light and sockets or lights and switches?

£30 for light £30 for each switch ( you might have 1 light and four switches)

There are two ways to price a job

1 what is it worth and am I competitive
2 can I make what I need to pay the bills

i know this doesn't help 1 is the right way to do it (BUT 2 is the reality)

It is really hard i have the total price after slight alterations at £1075. Seems alot but i know it is alot of work. Its just what other electricians are charging i guess as the customer (I would expect) will be getting other quotes. 1 is the option you would say as is it worth the hassle for the money. Im lucky in that i have steady work which i can come and go to but this wont last forever and need word of mouth a guess. Its a hard life isnt it haha

I see where your coming from on this one especially in large installations etc. Defo worth considering iv jst been charging for the light including the switch

allow yourself 2 hours per socket, or light ( including switch) and see how your price compares, using the hourly rate you need at the moment?
