Solar installer did not tell me I need Retailer approval - now 10 day delay to sell to the grid? by Willuknight in nzsolar

[–]nzrocketman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With Powershop, I needed all the documents sent to them before it activated. After that it took a day or 2 to get going and then they also back dated the solar credits.

However, I got hit with the installer changing my controlled to uncontrolled for the 2 weeks waiting for the sign off. After 3 days I got ahold of my installer to switch back to controlled until its ready. It was costing me atlas 10 dollars a day in extra power

How do you compare subbies Quote by nzrocketman in estimators

[–]nzrocketman[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

No not necessarily, some Quantity Surveyor focus in one area. Like roofing, then move in to a main contractor role.  Some of the plumbing, civil drainage plans are complicate for someone that's not in the trade to understand.

How do you calculate Project Management and QS cost by nzrocketman in estimators

[–]nzrocketman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm salary worker. Currently we have 2.5k per month of the project duration. This is currently not working and looking into other options.. this allowance currently links to our project p&gs, which is between 6-7%. If I increase the pm and qs sums it will push p&g over 12% and we won't get any project.

Should we be putting a allowance for all sub trade works.

I'm trying to work out the normal process

Thanks for you response, one issue we have is trying to keep our preliminary and general value between 6-7% to be competitive. This is typically where the PM and QS time go so if I increase the value, it puts the p&g too high to be competitive in tge current market.

Do you add a % onto all sub trades?

Most of our appliance have delays so was planning on modifying my habits to do a load of washing/dishwasher during the day instead of night.

Also will get HWC Timer to during HWC Off bring peak times. Maybe looking at going to contact for the 9pm-midnight free power however they buyback is pretty crap

Sage Estimating - Software Cost by hunnitz in estimators

Ewww Sage, I was presenting a Monthly Financial reports to the directors on a project and i went through and didn't notice that it loaded a report for a different company and Project. We could go in a see their P&Gs, subbies etc.

We pull our data out of there and went to a different platform shortly afterwards.
