[QUOTE="Sharpend, post: 500505, member: 17152"] I suspect that the local firm probably charged higher then you would due to higher overheads and/or experience with the customer. However this is not a reason to charge low it just gives you a bigger margin to price. if you have no experience of this type of work then you will need to take this into consideration, it would be wrong to charge the customer over the odds to allow for your learning curve. Having said that if you follow a logical approach such as 1) identify all circuits - do not get distracted into testing what you think is an easy one, complete circuit identification this way you will/should have identified all outlets. 2) now start with the smallest circuits to eliminate the straightforward ones Then progress onto the larger circuits as these are more likely to give rise to problems. I think I would agree with Dave and do it on an hourly rate. [/QUOTE]
