Hi I haven’t posted for a while to be honest I’ve been flat out, but I’ve just lost a job based on cost and was wondering ball park figures what people think this job is worth below.

Master bed with walk-in wardrobe
Family bathroom

Pantry/Plantroom
Utility room kitchen
Dining room

60 lighting points (pendants and wall lights)
18 downlights
10 out lights
Garage to have 6 x twin Led anti-corrosive batten 8 x twin socket (all in Galv tube)
8 cat 6 data cables
8 x TV point
5 x extract fan
8 cam cctv inc monitor
Under floor heating through out with radiators aswell, so all heating controls multiple room stats etc.

Gotta be 9-11k?

 

[hasel5]

Would say about £15 to £20k

 

[pc1966]

I'm thinking £10k would be a very good price for that lot.

 

[James]

4k for materials
2k to pay the dodgy I can do lectrix guy from down the pub
4k in my pocket for naff all work
so 10k should be ok

 

[pc1966]

I don't know the going rate for CCTV and alarms, etc, but looking down that list I think the £15k start price from hasel5 would be more realistic.

There’s a few bits I’ve not included as you can imagine out lights couple of out sockets etc etc. My price was £1120ish so all your costs sound there or there abouts. Materials around 4K.

customer has gone with a price for all the above of..... wait for it...... £4900!!!!!!!!
Bearing in mind the customer is a tradesman himself would’ve thought they would see the price is bollo***** unbelievable!!!!!

 

[pc1966]

So someone is offering to do all of that work for £900 ?!

 

[James]

£1120 seems a bit low, presume you meant £11200.
keep on good terms with the customer, he might need you to come and finish the job when the other spark does a runner with the cash.

 

[cloverman]

Well I was going to say around £10,000 as a ball point figure without really sitting down to work it out !
At that price, materials must have fallen off the back of a lorry and working for peanuts per hour

Can only think that is a labour only price and the 'tradesman' can get the parts 'cheaper'

Still low ball but otherwise it will be a total cluster.

Yer £11200 oops!!! That’s what I’ll do Maybe if they get a written quote (which surely they haven’t) they will come back.

 

[Baddegg]

I think I’d be asking if they minded if I watched for a few weeks....that’s gonna be good footage ?

 

[Bsharp]

Or maybe they’ve found the worlds best and most generous spark?? Actually now I think about it fair play to the boy doing his bit for charity ???

 

[telectrix]

quick look at OP. i'd be saying around £15 -18K.

 

[ChrisElectrical88]

Surely missed a 1 off the start of his quote

 

[Dustydazzler]

£14,500 (not including the cctv which I would price seperat)

Wouldn’t touch it for less than 14 grand , if they want it done for under 14 grand they can find somebody else

 

[Bsharp]

I think my £1120 is perfectly ok for the region I work in, all though I appreciate people’s opinions on higher prices. I’m still slightly expecting to hear that a “typo”was to blame!!
