Gingerbread Men beware of Mr Fox
Gingerbread Men beware of Mr Fox
This is the classic gingerbread man moment, you know the story the Gingerbread man wants to get across the river, the Mr Fox kindly offers to transport him to the other side, at first the Gingerbread Man hops onto his tail, completely trusting of Mr Fox’s motives, as Mr Fox swims across he encourages the Gingerbread Man to comer ever closer nearer to his head, so he can, “Hear him better”, The Gingerbread Man obliges innocent and unsuspecting, then finally Mr Fox urges him closer, hop onto my nose, the with a flick of the Foxes head the Gingerbread Man is tossed up into the air and then, SNAP!!! Into Mr Fox’s open jaw.
Back to electrical estimating the dwellings, and the £200,000, There was electrical services to 4no communal areas with fire alarm, lighting etc. lets deduct £8000 for this communal work. We discussed that if we divide £192,000 by 72no that equals £2,666. Let assume profit of £400. We know they require an intruder alarm, SKY that circa £600+£350, That leaves us £1316, let’s say labour is £1000 (House crew rates) , that leaves us £316 to buy cable £250, CU £100, 2 sockets and 8 spurs, 12 switches, and 10 lights etc. . We concluded that we could not obliges Mr Fox on this occasion. PS When Mr Fox was challenged over the £200,000 they requested they just compile the Tender and submit the best price they could.
