  Really insightful to see this side of the business mate. As an apprentice it’s great to learn how things work first hand with complete clarity. Really excited to see the future of Residual Electrical Contractors, I’m sure you’ll go far mate.

  Strut cutter looks a beast 🤟 if it was around the £1000 mark I’d jump on it but think they’re taking the piss with the current price. Milwaukee must have bought or contracted a 3rd party company to make it which is why it’s so insanely priced 😂

  @@SME_Ste probably 😂 think strutslayr might actually be marginally cheaper…. Milwaukee £2600 for the bare tool + £350 for the dies + £138 for 2x batteries and charger +£500 for the nice vice table so £3.5k will have to start financing tools at this rate

  Best of luck with your new venture, How are you finding your NIC application, assume approved contractor. Have you managed to accumulate the amount of jobs required doing your own work already? We setup around 18months ago mainly sub contracting but are pushing to get more of own work, we are mainly commercial and industrial like yourself but alot of clients we want to work for are already expecting us to have the NIC EIC Accreditation so it's difficult. Regarding your job management software and accounting be careful when invoicing through both as invoice numbers may duplicate unless it is set differently this is the case with our system which is Simpro and Xero. Not sure if it's the same for you but worth checking. All in all it looks like your very organised and spending time on the right things first ! BTW gpt4 is a game changer worth the cost all day long

  Thanks buddy! I’ve gone through the sign up and have my assessment on the 6th, so will update you on there, luckily I’ve got 2 commercial and 1 domestic job to show already 👌🏼 I do all my invoicing via quick books so dupes aren’t a problem, but I get what you mean, luckily service mate imports the details to quickbooks can make an invoice 🤓

• 
  @residualelectricalКүн бұрын

  If I’m honest mate it’s all networking and who you know, especially if you’re out on your own, as for your situation I would find a firm that does that sort of work and sub to them, be honest about your experience and I’m sure you will learn a lot with them 🤝🏼

  Really looking forward to these future videos.. i think there are loads of construction at work videos but not many that go into the running of the business... it will be intresting to hear what you do actively to bring in work and get contracts for jobs etc.. If your worrying about your 30k debt i maybe able to direct you to get your monthly payments reduced or wiped.. dont stress... someone who i know owed £45k and got it reduced to £1 per month.. which you can pay £1 forever or until your financial situation gets better.. it wont affect your credit rating as your still paying off the debt.

  I was setting up last year and then got offered a full time cards in job so it was a bit "do I, don't I?"... Cards in job is shift work so I get enough days off from that to pick up a few little subbing jobs (machinery / mechanical/ electrical); day job pays the bills and once I'm busy enough I'll go SE full time.

  Seems to me a much better direction than load out, this should be much more profitable. Your location is a winner, straight into London easy enough but also you have Slough just down the road. The data centre builds now are insane, we are putting HV straight into the switch rooms, adjacent to the UPS’s. Dead interesting work, bypasses, bus-couplers, big battery banks with DC busbar or like single 630mm HO7s. All the work is top tier, very neat with proper containment. The only downsides are useless principal contractors and the OTT PPE requirements. Best of luck Mike.
