Custom Estimation Systems for Electrical Contractors

 

 

A Flat Rate Pricing System

This is a downloadable program that guides you thru the process of creating and printing your own custom Flat Rate Pricing System to suit your specific company's needs.

It is a program written by Electrical Contractors for Electrical Contractors.

It is not a generic pricing system associated with Plumbing & HVAC pricing systems.

It is fully customizable and comes as a spreadsheet file with 17 different categories and hundreds of tasks (almost 600) with prices that you can open, edit and print. Also, it is now more important than ever to be able to quickly adjust your prices, especially after the last year's huge price fluctuations in copper wire and other supplies.

Unlike other systems out there, it is very affordable and straight forward to use. It is a stand-alone program, in which you enter specific prices (such as your service call rate, after hours premium, discounts, etc.) and it adjusts the total prices accordingly.

You can add categories, tasks, prices and customize it any way you like. When you're finally done, you can easily print out as many price books as you like without any additional payments!

The categories included are:

Home Page - Abbreviations - Rates & Full Explanation on its Use and Expansion Features

  • Appliances
  • Audio-Video
  • Ballast
  • Breakers
  • Circuit Wiring 15-60 Amps.
  • Cable Wiring Over 60 Amps
  • Conduit
  • Detectors- Heat / Smoke / CO
  • Devices
  • Disconnects
  • Fans
  • Fixtures - Repairs / Installations
  • Grounding - Bonding
  • Heat - Air Conditioning
  • Motor Controls
  • Service Equipment - Panels / Meter Pans
  • Troubleshooting

If you're planning on using a flat rate pricing system for your business, then you can save yourself hundreds or even thousands of dollars by using this type of system instead. Flat rate systems that offer 100's of pages of tasks are not easier or better to use, specifically because they operate against the original intent of a flat rate price system, which is to keep it simple. If you could put together a 50-60 page pricing system with only 15-20 categories and 500-600 tasks that covers 95 % of the work that you encounter, then that would undoubtedly be the better system, especially if you intend on printing pricing books for yourself or your employees.

See an Example (below) of the Layout & Pricing in the Fans Category

Remember that it's fully customizable, so you can change or add categories, tasks, prices, discounts and much more.
