[@thomasstout6912]

Been a foreman for years this channel is on point. Trying to start out on my own the exclusions and allowance is legit nice job guys

[@The360Electrician]

Thanks for the support! Where you tuning in from?

[@timothyeckel7169]

bonus tip: check device warranties. say your client wants a specific brand of light. that light manufacturer may require a specific type of cable or wire to wire their lights or else the warranty is voided the second you flip the breaker. check everything!

[@thomasstout6912]

Make sure you check mechanicals too for AC units

[@The360Electrician]

YES very good point. We tend to get extra work when they change things up. I have a building now that changed the mechanical equipment. I love change order$. Where you tuning in from?

Insanely helpful breaking things down simply thank you

[@1SageP1]

As far as material goes, do you go through and mark prices on every single item you anticipate will be needed or just an estimated guess with a safety net?

[@The360Electrician]

@@1SageP1 we try and get every part except wire nuts staples etc. Those just add a # per job, room floor. However makes sense to you but $5 X's 100 jobs a year is still $500 so find the sweet spot between 1 hr of counting those vs. What's the amount to add on misc.

Not so great it’s a 50/50

[@The360Electrician]

@@howtodoelectrical200 Yeah I would figure, is the issue what they pay or the cheap clients? Would love to atlk more about it if you have done it for a while.

[@GhostX3MC]

is this the same for industrial ? like warehouse automation systems?

[@The360Electrician]

Depends on the plans and scope of work.

[@GhostX3MC]

Well for conveyor installation

Thanks for the great vid I’m in process of waiting for my test date to take my exam in cali I spoke with several ppl they told me that I have to take a course on estimating first do you have a favorite software course ? Thanks

[@The360Electrician]

I can't belive it's berm 16 years since I took mine. I teach estimating on cussing valid all the time. Is there an estimating part on the test now that they are talking about?

[@rickylopez6870]

Great video, I wanted to ask you guys when applying to take you c-10 contractor license, do I need to register a name first or I can just take the test???

[@The360Electrician]

Good question, if I'm correct I got my name ready and corporation if going that route. That way it's assigned right away. When I got mine lic numbers matered now they are in the million so not as important.

[@rickylopez6870]

@@The360Electrician if I’m understanding right first get my name and corporation register and ready to go before the test correct?

[@The360Electrician]

If you know your going to pass then yes. It make everything go smooth but not 100% necessary. They will tell you that you passed and then assign the lic #. But being prepaired means making money sooner. Watch my video on being an electrical contractor is so easy...

[@futureviralvideos3375]

Can you guy help me??!!

Bro 600$ for your paperwork? You’re crazy, it wouldn’t even be applied to everyone only in your state … every state has different laws.

[@The360Electrician]

You obviously haven't been on our channel long. We don't take it personally. We are a little crazy. Come back when you see the value, or can always buy it from another channel, that's OK as well.
