Figure:
.65 hours per fixture
.85 hours for a ceiling fan
.75 hours for a chandelier
.25 hours per device
6 hours for panel #1 (A panel is 10-8 hours and if the can is up, you cant give it all back)
4 hours for panel #2
1 Hour AHU tie in
1 Hour CU tie in.
(Feel free to adjust to labor units you use)
Keep the markup of all equipment already furnished.
Keep the markup of your labor; you should try to never give back markup for labor taken out of your contract, because this is labor already booked and you are spending it now dealing with a deductive change order. If this guy is a friend, or a really good customer who got into a bad spot and is forced to do this then maybe give half the markup for labor back but keep some for this headache.
Explain the 25% draw for trim out is not what it actually costs and that it is just a simplified way to make your job cash flow and be fair.
