Professional Quoting for Electrical Jobs: A Complete Guide for UK Electricians
Professional electrical quoting represents one of the most challenging business skills electricians develop, yet it receives minimal attention during training. Most electricians learn NVQ competencies, BS 7671 regulations, and testing procedures but enter self-employment unprepared for the complexity of translating technical work into formal written quotes managing both customer expectations and business risk. The distinction between adequate and professional quoting determines business success more than technical skill differences. Disputes, late payments, unpaid extras, and scope creep overwhelmingly stem from quoting failures rather than workmanship problems.
