Well, we are a very young company (< 1 yr). My brother, me and another partner. We have one builder that the two of them have been wiring houses for for several years. They do a square foot price and then charge him for extras. For example, 1.50 per square foot of living space (to code), 60 bucks per can, 90 bucks per paddle fan, etc. Its only been a few months since we have been tracking material costs and expenses - its a long story, they never thought to do this stuff before because it was just a couple of guys making some extra money...

Anyway, so it sounds like the sq ft route isn't a fave by anyone...the problem is - these guys (builders) wanna fax you an 8.5 x 11 plan and tell you to give them a price...

By the way - thanks for all the input you guys! This board is amazing!
