Anyone can simply toss numbers out there...we would need a lot more info to be in the ballpark.
 
39.995

This is how some people say to bid on here sometimes isn't it? just take other peoples numbers and beat them. Hope they knew what they were doing, so I don't end up with less money at the end of the month than I stated with, because I only started with $5.

If that is true, you must be really hard up for work :D


I gave another EC a "hand" doing a job. He got the job from his "friend" who told him: "If you can beat the other guy's price by $500, the job is yours!"

Well, this EC had NO CLUE about running pipe...I tried to convince him to use larger pipe and larger conductors to get a break on the labor, ie instead of 20 3/4" EMT runs with about 9 #12 conductors in them, run 30 #10s in 1 1/2"....he was shocked that I would make such a statement!

The amount of labor involved in running those 30 +/- 3/4" runs would not have even come close to a few runs of 1 1/2".

He lost his shirt on this job...and as a bonus, his "friend" stiffed him on payment.
