PRICE IT RIGHT
The Electrician's Guide to Estimating, Bidding, and Charging Profitable Rates for Every Job
Stop guessing what to charge-and start pricing electrical jobs with confidence.
Whether you're a solo electrician, independent electrical contractor, small-business owner, or building a growing electrical company, Price It Right gives you a practical framework for creating accurate estimates, submitting competitive bids, and protecting your profit on every job.
Many electricians know how to do the work but struggle with one critical question: What should I charge? Underpricing can leave you working harder without making more money, while overpricing can cost you valuable jobs. The goal is to find the right balance-and build a pricing system you can use consistently.
Inside this practical guide, you'll learn how to:
- Create accurate estimates for electrical jobs
- Calculate labor, materials, equipment, permits, and overhead
- Build professional and competitive bids
- Determine profitable hourly and job rates
- Account for overhead and business expenses
- Protect your profit margin
- Identify where money is being lost on jobs
- Handle change orders and additional work
- Know when a job isn't worth taking
- Price jobs with greater speed and confidence
- Develop better systems for a more profitable electrical business
With straightforward guidance, practical examples, and useful estimating concepts, Price It Right is designed to help electricians move beyond guesswork and develop a more disciplined approach to pricing.
Do the work. Price it properly. Get paid what you're worth.
If you're ready to win the right jobs, protect your margins, and build a stronger electrical business, Price It Right gives you the tools to start.
