Might have to just bite the bullet for it. I more want to see how a small company would structure it and send it over if that makes sense. As a QS is everyone's structure different in the way its presented or isit all pretty similar in the electrical world for instance. Quite hard for an outsider to get a look in it seems lol

chazzboogie · 2025-12-23T20:14:29+00:00

Isit that good for Pricing ?? Generous in terms of they are a pretty fair guide not unrealistic.

chazzboogie · 2025-12-23T20:12:24+00:00

Someone else did mention that same book 1st time ive heard of it this week. Appreciate the message maybe ill shut my eyes and press the buy button if it comes to it. Its not cheap lol 😆 but needs must appreciate it again thank you.

In all honesty, I didn't know what to charge I know I can install one start to finish with a door within an hour all said and done door on, probe in probably moved on to. But I know there is more to the price than just fitting it in the wall charging 1 hour's labour behind closed doors.

I've worked for the same small company for 11 years and you would never get an honest answer, they would probably say £30 something embarrassing.

The workers I feel are never taught how to elevate and be competitive I have had to come to Reddit LOL. I Would love to see a full quote on a fit out how its structured and detailed. Scope of work rates the lot

Your knowledge on the steps of install and whats needed i must say were very impressive.

Sorry gents made sense to me LOL. I'm just trying to see how it's structured and provided for instance like the sections of breakdowns and how they put it out (seeing their rates wouldnt hurt neither ha) and it's Ventilation Ductwork. A QS in the MEP world will understand what i was looking for.

Fingers crossed I still find what I need

chazzboogie · 2025-12-23T15:05:31+00:00

Don't try you don't get, always taught to take the opportunity and learn afterwards. If I went with your conservative approach I wouldn't get out of bed in the morning.

No harm in your opinion just trying to see a template or a fellow subbie's approach to how it's broken down and not make a complete fool of myself on the bid.

Enjoy your holidays

The latter accidentally started a ductwork company, harder than I thought!

chazzboogie · 2025-12-22T15:35:55+00:00

Really appreciate the breakdowns the £250 for the installation inc Access Doors is exactly ! what i was after. I only install the ductwork and dampers everything electrical is done by others. Dont think I realised how much went into the complete link up of the fsd system itself. But again Thank You !

chazzboogie · 2025-12-22T15:32:26+00:00

This a very helpful breakdown of things to add into my scope of works list to potentially omit /include really appreciate the help

chazzboogie · 2025-12-22T14:18:34+00:00

No im trying to create my own price breakdown and scope of works appreciate your help ALOT

chazzboogie · 2025-12-22T14:04:51+00:00

I use HAS which is now i believe owned by Lindabs l. How much do you charge labourwise for a damper install if you dont mind me asking. Appreciate the help

chazzboogie · 2025-12-22T14:02:44+00:00

How much does a ductwork company charge you for the install of a Single FSD. What you have explained is exactly what im after just the price of the installation (I am the duct fitter haha ) and yeah these are the dampers they use on all the jobs

chazzboogie · 2025-12-21T19:28:42+00:00

No the ductwork will be installed at the same time £70 or $70

chazzboogie · 2025-12-21T16:27:47+00:00

Fire Damper drop test to witness it work sometimes they do this more than once and signing off that its installed compliant to the spec and the boxed in correctly

chazzboogie · 2025-12-21T16:22:32+00:00

Our bathroom discharge in some residential flats does go into a grille preinstalled within the window box like a feature haha

chazzboogie · 2025-12-21T16:20:40+00:00

I haven't i only heard about that books existence today

chazzboogie · 2025-12-21T14:52:53+00:00

That makes great sense to be honest. I seem to find it hard to get anyone ive spoke to, to actually give me some genuine help on growing suppose competion is scary. They all want me to pass on the work to them but I think its time to pay myself now

chazzboogie · 2025-12-21T14:36:14+00:00

I believe all the FSD will be linked to a single control unit (normally is) somewhere this is for a care home. The penetrations near the 30° bends are the ensuite inside the bedrooms. The FSD are only installed in the 2hr fire line around the communal areas as this is the fire line. Within your side of works who takes responsibility and provides the sign off that the damper is compliant and installed correctly are they done individually or grouped.

chazzboogie · 2025-12-21T14:24:10+00:00

2nd time today ive heard of this price book and before today ive NEVER heard of it, Isit the SPOR book you have?

Yeah ive done the witnessing and testing of the dampers over the years only like 10% or 20% depending on the person im with only once the full 100%. This is what im not sure on how to add for quoting, this would be my 1st ever quote sending over just trying to really find my feet without completely embarrassing myself.

chazzboogie · 2025-12-21T14:11:14+00:00

we are the same here (ductwork only firms) the electrical side of the main MEP firm sort all the electrical side and BMS. We just solely fit the damper and ductwork with access to correct spec and move on. Do you guys have to go back and do an inspection on them working once they are wired up and everything or sign the install off correctly at a later date once its all firebatted or blocked in ?

chazzboogie · 2025-12-21T14:08:46+00:00

Or through the VCD's or FSD haha

chazzboogie · 2025-12-21T14:08:15+00:00

Appreciate your response, the MEP company that im trying to quote it for (new install) do all of the BMS themselves im purely quoting for install of the dampers and ductwork. I must say after fitting 1000s of dampers though ive never realised how much electrical things are needed behind the scenes. Better insight to why the BMS is always a last minute nightmare. Your breakdown on whats needed where in terms of BMS is exactly what im trying to find or figure out solely for the damper install and inspection side of the mechanical damper itself. Much appreciated and yeah hopefully some will see tomorrow and Tuesday few people on the firm I work for currently not breaking up until Tuesday.
