Bidding a new home

[brantmacga]

. What brand of nail on box do you use? For instance if you use a nail on blue Carlon (which of course nobody here does :roll:) they don’t have the built in clamp, just the plastic knock out. What would be a good efficient way to keep the box secured to he end of the NM during transport, moving around job site, etc.

I use P&S Quick/Click boxes. They don’t come off.

Going rate here in South Georgia is $2.85/ft + $1000 for the service. I’ve heard as high as $4.25. I don’t offer sq ft pricing.

I can’t compete at those prices. I do custom homes though; I’ve attached some pricing screenshots from one I priced a few weeks ago. I think this house was around 2400 sq ft, and pretty basic.

Keep in mind any fixtures mentioned in the take-off are labor only; I do have a line for the cost to provide recessed fixtures.

What estimating program are you using to determine your opening prices? I'm in the market for a program currently using the old school method of pen and paper but I noticed that my pricing is very close to yours in lots of areas.

It says ConEst on the document

I just estimated a house for one of my employee's daughters. Nothing fancy, $23000.
