Okay, I know square foot pricing won't really work in commercial. I've tried explaining to my boss that it won't work because there are too many variables, so unless we do it per item (dental treatment rooms cost x, 200A 3 Phase 42 Circuit panel costs y, etc.) I don't see how it will work. My boss keeps insisting we need a square foot formula to do preliminary estimates to give a bid to the dentist. Yeah, preliminary estimate. No working knowledge of the electrical system. No drawings. Pretty much nothing.
Does anybody have any ideas I can use to try and convince my boss that it won't work? He's already readjusting the numbers after every job to try and come up with a number. Unless we go high, I don't see how it will work.
