In Ghana 🇬🇭 and for myself I give free estimates, but many times clients take you for a ride. You will waste your time and sometimes money 💰 but in the end the client will give the work to another person.
You did a great job explaining the charges in the simplest format so everyone can have an understanding,it's clear that you are very honest and reasonable in all your thoughts.
Yes man it's been a while people requesting this vid but i told them it is not that simple because i have to construct the best way i can to make people understand because pricing work is hard that the work it self.
Yes I agree you have to charge what the materials cost. That’s how you stay in business, anything else you will work yourself out of business. Great content, plus your overhead.
You can discount yourself out of business. In all actuality the electrical business has the same business fundamentals like any other business. Only the industry is different.
Much appreciated. Your video has been really helpful, especially seeing that schools these days only want to to be a employee so they leave out vital lessons like this right here. god bless
Good explanation thank you. Is runnng the cord from the breaker to the point of use and installing the socket or switch; is that an example of a point?
Hello question How much would you charge a local community person or domestic home owner to do a 20 by 20 room that is cut out with a bathroom inside it. And a split level under neet kitchen?
If you practice invoicing then your cost will be more understandable. Not every job make sense,why would you leave Portmore to install an out in Kingston the travelling cost will be more than the job cost.
@@ElectricalInstallationEEE I just count about 37 point on my Blue Print for a 2 bedroom,living kitchen, bathroom and a small wash room and I times it between the rate of $3000-$6000 per point to get a price under standing, I can’t afford 5k-6k per point, plus material and labor cost. Now I understand I’m looking to see the charge the Electrican going to give me! Respect ✊🏼, So for a larger job and a job with a lot of point Electrican could give a good rate, for smaller job you can be more firm on a price. You have to find the balance. Thanks for the knowledge
@@ElectricalInstallationEEE It’s s Not Cheap and Also I’ve to take in consideration I have to rent a chipping hammer for the Labor to chip out the wall 3-4 Days, plus light finishes is another cost, Chandelier and stuff…
Bless up. So I have just one question. Let's say you're supposed to cut the wall and put in 5 handy boxes and a wallcase in a room and run pipe to all of the boxes, how would you price that?
I live in England and i am looking to start my own business as a electrician over here soon. I was just wondering if Jamaican companys would actually take me on for a thew days if I was to come back over on holiday. I would just like to work with different people and see different electrical systems. Also be good to learn new stuff and teach some people some new things. Would be to jokes too a white man from England turning up to work.
Hope your business plans pull through , for you working out should be fun because it ain't easy as it may seem but you'll get a part time here for sure
Category of electrical pricing varies from Domestic, Industrial and commercial installations.….. At the end we come back to the points..... It's ok to give a discount at your own cost
Question...if you're upgrading from 110v to 220v, how would you prepare the meter and the pothead for the house to continue have electricity until the Inspector visit and pass it, and for the Power company to connect the double twisted service wire?... probably you could do a video on this.... Thanks
@@ElectricalInstallationEEE Hey Teacher, Bless up...I don't understand the link, but my WhatsApp number is 876-585-3904...if you could even send me a voicenote explaining, I'ld appreciate it...the question is regarding upgrading from 110v to 220v---how to connect the meter and pothead for house to continue have electricity until the Inspector visit and pass it...Thanks
Another question....does having a deck roof or a regular roof have anything to do with whether you put the 10mm wire to service the house from the meter underground?
pot head 1 point earth rod 1 meter 1 but only when i'm using anything less than 25mm the points is at a flat rate over that size a more money so it depending on the cable using,
Yes, because the big rich guys dictate, and tell you all take it or leave it. The poor man that is trying dont normally has that type of advantage...huh

Does any one know if any company would accept a person that just leave heart with level 3 certificate?
If there's any please let mi know
when you say pre-point are you saying installing the conduit and boxes or is that a separate cost from running the wires and plug?
Much appreciated. Your video has been really helpful, especially seeing that schools these days only want to to be a employee so they leave out vital lessons like this right here. god bless
Glad it was helpful!

In some states service charge can be $70 and up bro
So i was in the right line then👍

@@ElectricalInstallationEEE yes bro and that's just for showing up
Yes man out here i charge and depending on the distance to it go up but not all the time depending on the client.
Oh ok most people cross over once they go to the state but they still have passion for electrical 👍
A 20amp breaker has upto 4 points
15amp can have up to 11 points base on the amount of lights
There is a price list by the builders association of Jamaica
Am from zambia how would I join you guys.,.. please...
Thanks for this very informative
Good knowledge, I like your charging, So doing electrical you have the labor charge and the electric charge
So you get the concept now on how to charge👍

Five room estimate from starting to the final part
I count an 220v Circuit as 4 points, 2 at the breaker nd 2 at the opposite end, eg... a pilot light switch, or 220v plug etc. What do you think???
No a 220V outlet a 1 point but if u lucky n can get it why not 🤷♂️
@@ElectricalInstallationEEE 🤣😅😂
Big up Mundo, you replying to all comments is what will help grow your channel KEEP it up
I think 220 volts outlets is 2 points and a 110 v outlet is one points
What is your phone number
