Trade-specific pricing guidance
Electrician pricing: allow for testing, access and what the circuit may reveal.
The requested installation may be simple, while the existing system, certification and remedial dependencies create the commercial risk.
Costs to challenge before quoting
- Testing and inspection time
- Certification and administration
- Access to occupied areas
- Specialist components and delivery
- Making good and coordination
- Remedial work outside the requested scope
- Return visits after other trades
The decision to protect
Do not ask only whether the total looks normal for the market. Ask whether the price covers this job, for this business, with this access, programme and risk.
Customer pressure point
A lower competitor price does not reveal their labour cost, overhead, availability, specification, tax position or whether they have priced the same scope. Compare like with like before allowing another quote to anchor yours.
