Frequently asked questions
How should an electrical contractor set up a schedule of values?
Common lines include mobilization and submittals, temporary power, service and distribution equipment, feeders, branch rough-in, low-voltage or fire alarm if in scope, devices, lighting fixtures, testing and commissioning, and closeout. Separate material and labor lines for major gear help you bill stored equipment when the contract allows it.
Can I bill switchgear stored on site?
Many contracts allow billing for materials presently stored if you provide proof of delivery, insurance and sometimes a bill of sale. Check your subcontract, then show the amount in the stored materials column of your pay application.
What causes the most electrical change orders?
Device and fixture relocations from layout changes, added circuits for owner equipment, equipment substitutions with different electrical requirements, utility requirements, and after-hours shutdowns in occupied buildings.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. Sub-Office runs on the web, iOS and Android, so crews can log daily reports, photos and hours from the job.
