When you charge say $50 an opening/outlet what all does that cover. Hanging,nailing a box, running wire,and trim work. Thanks
"NTE"??Agreements with Karl.
Cost anxiety occurs with owners more than employee / renters. Some kind of "NTE" beyond the "service-call minimum" can reduce anxiety, especially where clients feel some control of cost expectations, or responsibility for changing scope.
"NTE"??
Not To Exceed.
We use that in service contracts. For instance, customer's rep calls and wants service, we can spend up to the NTE prior to getting bean counter approval.
IMHO NTE's are great unless they're too low, then your paying for multiple trips when it can be fixed in on trip. I have one specific customer that has an NTE of $0. Yes zero, we have to go to the site, call their facility manager and get approval. It's a pita, but everything we do get run by the same guy, every time.
imuse97 when you charge a set price per outlet/opening, how do charge for bring the sevice in. This is new conrtuction. I have a set price foe service work, do I just add that to the price per opening.
Good luck, as the market has changed!!! Many—including some union companies—aren’t playing fair. They are under biding. I get most or all of my work through referrals, while new customers learn of me through other means.Got it thanks ,,I should have known that..:lol:
