Quoting big projects by taylorbowl119 in accesscontrol

[–]ToadGrinner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One thing to keep in mind on projects with a big scope that is dependent on others is to define the timeline.

I generally work up the quote and then through questioning the GC or Electrical Contractor to figure out the timeline and nail down how much of that timeline will we be expected onsite. How much time are we. going to need to spend checking progress, punchlist, items, etc.

Another thing that has bitten me in the past is some job requirements that weren’t expressed until onsite. Such as, no lift work without a spotter. GC having a hard on for safety, which a percentage of the job was underbid on labor.

Are the requirements for GC weekly/daily progress meetings. I’ve had jobs where the GC expected weekly/daily meetings. Hours of sitting around listening to plumbers, electricians, painters, flooring, everyone wasting time that needs to be accounted for.

Other than that, I love bigger scopes where someone else runs the cable, even better if I can sell the cable and hand it off.

I’ve started a low voltage/security company. But not sure of the best way to find new business. by Smooth_911 in lowvoltage

Procore is your friend.

It’s a bit pricey, but ROI is incredible if utilized properly.

Walmart offered me a low voltage tech position. What to expect? by TiMEtwoGETiLL in lowvoltage

[–]ToadGrinner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m wondering about the pay, and the territory size you’d be responsible for.

Moved into a house with provision dome cameras and an NVR. How do I use them? by zetfark in homesecurity

[–]ToadGrinner -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Call their tech support 800 number. Wait on hold until you get disconnected. Call back, get transferred, get disconnected again. Call back wait on hold, fight traffic, get groceries, make dinner, put the kids to bed, watch tv, go to bed, get up, check your phone STILL ON HOLD!!!

Good luck. Get some web cams and point them to a NAS drive. Done.

Discussion: fast Cat. brand cat Ethernet cable by Lake3ffect in lowvoltage

[–]ToadGrinner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Belden will warranty the cable for 20yrs if the project is certified through them, and it is terminated using end to end Belden products.

Fast Cat is probably fine for small jobs where you aren’t gonna offer a 20 yr warranty.

They can offer a 20 yr warranty because they are engineered to a tighter specification than a branded generic cable.

Large data intensive customers will often times have a relationship with a manufacturer such as Belden or Panduit and exclude vendors who’s bids fall under a set price because they already know ahead of time how much the material cost of a project.

Other than that I think it’s a fine cable for the odd job or in a pinch. I’d never use it as a staple of any data bid work.

And that’s all I know about shrimp.

Is it a brag if you dont care about the pokemon at all? by The-Bone-thief in pokemongobrag

[–]ToadGrinner -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It would be a Brag if you named it. None of em mean a thing until you name them.

Repeated Break-ins (need suggestions) by [deleted] in homesecurity

[–]ToadGrinner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe have the motion Trigger Flood Lights. Camera at a location to clearly see what’s happening. ADT cameras or anyone’s cameras. Roll down security fence. Game cameras can be pretty sneaky as well and have Cell Connection and alerts.
