You charge $30 to write an invoice??Jesse Kirchhoff said:• Small service fee of $30 applied to all individual invoices.
Exactly. A thread like this is good barometer for the rest of the country, but it will not help a guy looking for local information.Rich Turley said:When someone posts they charge $45 per hour, doesn't really provide any info for me. I usually don't know where they are located and if I do, I don't have any kind of handle on their local economy is. Even whithin location, labor rates vary depending on your goals and quality.
MD...Do you get into things like wiring large shop machinery/motors etc or is the electrical work you do mainly for the building?mdshunk said:It costs more for the PITA factor. Parking hundreds of feet away, elevators, working over desks and computers, people in your road, additional hazards involved with larger installations, etc. It almost takes a differently outfitted truck for commercial service calls with larger ladders, different personal safety equipment, different consumable truck stock, etc. Commercial accounts are also accustomed to paying a different rate, so I oblige. Whatever the market will bear....
Thanks SP. I know of some electricians who don't diversify quite as much and don't really get into industrial wiring/service.Speedy Petey said:I won't hijack the question posed to Marc, but I know for me, and most in my area, the job is soup to nuts.
We will install the service, wire the building, hook up machinery (unless it is brand new and the factory sends someone out), even install the hand dryers in the bathrooms.
I have in the same day gone from installing the afore mentioned hand dryer, to hooking up a 20' ceiling fan, to feeding a $1m CNC machine.
You forgot to mention that you also have to finance the job for them with them paying at a minimum of 30 days from invoicing.mdshunk said:It costs more for the PITA factor.

I would get a lot of flak over that. To me it's kind of insulting.
Why not just roll that $30 into your hourly rate?
PM or e-mail me and we can chat. I don't mind sharing this knowledge with regulars but don't want the general public knowing what my underwear looks likeCubevan said:Grumpy,...I'm just curious. About how much $$ does it take to start up a roofing Co. the size of yours?
I don't do a job with a 30 day payout, and if I do I demand a downpayment for sure.Mike Finley said:You forgot to mention that you also have to finance the job for them with them paying at a minimum of 30 days from invoicing.![]()
