just ask them when the deadline is, and gaurantee it will be done in time whatever it takes.
Suppose it's a 2-week job, but they say you have until tomorrow?
Many people just cannot grasp what our craft entails, and what is required to get the job done. The most electrical information they have is what they've seen on
This Old House. And Kevin panders to them by getting involved with electrical to this extent:
"Well, as you can see, we've got the lighting all intalled, the rough-in of electrical is done and ready for inspection, and Master Electrician Allen Gallant is working on our new 200-amp electrical service."
They chit-chat for 15 seconds, and that's it. So many folks get the impression that a rewire of a 19th century 4-story Colonial can be done in less than a half hour.
