Quotation Calculation For Hours

[JaysonKandiah]

Hi Guys!

just wanted to ask how much you estimate on hours when you quote? so for a four camera system do you just do one hour per camera then three hours on top for any issues that come along the way?

One hour per camera!

My lot would have just finished their first brew after an hour.

Depends on how far away the camera is from the DVR surely

How longs a piece of string? The only thing you can allocate a value to are the constants. Everything else is up to the job of the surveyor/estimator.

i use unit costing for mist things, then if needed add difficulty or access figure where needed.

what ever your drinking i'll keep to Ovaltine .

I don't identify labour out separately, i have a points system as part of unit costing for devices, and extra points for longer or more difficult cable runs, with ease points when you have 3 detectors adjcent as in many houses

be daft to charge the same for a back door as one 100 yards down a factory as example, same distance in an office would likely not squire an access tower, perhaps just a podium.

once you set up to your own format it is relatively simple
