Lectrician Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Not sure if this is allowed on this site.... How much, roughly, to install a Panasonic 206e (readily available to even DIY'ers I beleive), with 4 extensions. 3 system phones, bottom of range, and 1 with display. Cables where already installed (I put them in, but had connected them all to PSTN ready for a PBX). I didn't get the job to install the PBX as I was too busy, but was shocked at the price I saw on the invoice from the other company!! I have just attended the site to connect a second line, as BT couldn't install the second line until after the other company had left.

Guest Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Without seeing the job, dunno. Maybe if this was in the trade section it might get a respose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon_B Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 As Luch said i would quote on seeing the job, depends if they want all the features programmed up, professional recording on the DISA/Auto Attendant card etc but my prices would be around below if south-east customer: KT-T206e CCU at £275 1 x KX-T7730 Display keyphone at £140 3 x KX-T7750 keyphones at £270 Install-Commisioning around £150-200 (inc 1-year maintenance) Wiring Charge about £25-50 if all cables run and in place, just needing DDK connectors for system and sockets connected. This is rough estimate though without seeing the job, I also would have popped back for free and enabled the 2nd line if Bt were late supplying it - but this would only be for in-house work, not if doing trade engineering for another firm. I am always interested in charges, what did the other firm charge, cannot see anyone charging more than £300 for KX-T206 install/Commisioning.

Lectrician Posted February 10, 2005 Author Share Posted February 10, 2005 I don't know the break down, but the total was £1,3*****ish. Steep?!? The bloke was there for a part day only! No maintenance contract! Email : martin@askthetrades.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon_B Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 I don't know the break down, but the total was £1,3*****ish.Steep?!? The bloke was there for a part day only! No maintenance contract! 39946[/snapback] Very steep !, sounds like big company prices, but still steep as the bigger companies normally get better trade price on the kit. They probably have a fixed price of £40-50 per point whether its a 30m run or just wiring a socket to a pre-wired cable. Still after the sale of kit, look like the installation charge was over £600 - this is a rip-off. For £1300 I could have supplied and installed a BT Pathway 818 (as 2+6) with 4 handsfree featurephones including years maintenance and if prewired cables, could have maybe saved them a hundred or 2 hundred kit ! Still good that companies like this in the game, as you don't even have to try to beat their prices !!
