I was talking to another contractor today....

We reckoned that the materials have probably more than doubled in price over the last 5 years or so.... I remember materials costing ITRO £500 for a rewire whereas it's got to be £1000 now

 

[ProDave]

Unbelievable. That's 53 "points" according to his specification. I normally reckon 1 hour per point (perhaps I'm slow?) so 53 hours. So to do it in a day that's 5 blokes and a long day.

Using the cheapest of everything I'll bet you can get the materials for £500 so that gives him £700 for his 53 hours or £13 per hour.

 

[Blue Duck]

Well, he may be getting all the kit from work, so won't be costing him a penny

He may well have a load of polish workers who are very cheap round this way

thats what the councils do :innocent

 

[Sharpend]

It's probably based on the going rate as per JIB of £13-£14 phr!! Short lived business?

 

[sprocketflup]

thats what the councils do :innocent

and you've seen the state of their rewires

 

[Blue Duck]

I was working on an estate where refurbs were being done, not a single person spoke English including the guy with the tester. It also looked like they had shares in marshall tufflex!

[Murdoch]

Bet they do't pay much tax

 

[kerching]

Best of all.....you can make a "best offer"!

 

[steptoe]

I should price keener and then simply sub out to these guys, 

 

[SPECIAL LOCATION]

Bet they do't pay much ANY tax

Of course not...

Bet HMRC hasn't got them down as being in work!!!

But why do all these "fully equipped" CU's come with 4 x 32A MCB's ....??

Who needs 4 x 32A MCB's on the average domestic property ...

:C

I have found a sample of their work.....

[Andy™]

he doesnt say anything about distance, so maybe someone from as far north as possible should bid? on the plus side, at least he wont have to notify it

 

[sprocketflup]

Hmmmm...who do we have on the board that lives fairly north like? with no phart pee....  :B-

 

[Andy™]

and what about plastering? it only says chased on the listing, but the pictures clearly include new plaster, so that must be included too?

 

[ProDave]

I've quoted £2600 labour plus parts for a rewire. If I get the job I might be looking for a subcontractor.............

He won't even have to chase and plaster as it's a total refurb of a timber frame house following a flood, so all ripped bare and dried out and all dry lined after first fix. So i should be able to get him to do that for £1000?

 

[sprocketflup]

Clips probably cost extra ^^

 

[Evans Electric]

I quoted the builder for an empty , basic electrics, 3 bed , bath, kitchen/diner & lounge last week @ £3400.00    inc VAT .

I know we won't get it (  Am I bovvered?)     

Wouldn't even entertain the idea of completion in one day .

There were 15 sockets , just the  chasing  in , @ 1/2 hr ea  is a day  . 

 

[Murdoch]

10 x 2 gang sockets in a rewire. What is it? A dolls house?
