What every audio-visual estimate needs
- Your business name, contact details and license number
- Estimate number, date and how long the price is valid
- Clear options (good, better, best) with what each includes
- Warranty terms and any permit or inspection fees
- Deposit required, if any
- A place for the customer to approve and sign
Pricing audio-visual work
- Set a service labor rate from your real costs: (tech wages and burden + overhead share + profit) ÷ billable hours per year. Use it for time-and-material work.
- Use a minimum charge for on-site service calls (e.g. a first-hour minimum) and bill remote support in smaller increments.
- Price service agreements from expected work: (preventive visits per year × hours per visit + expected break/fix hours) × labor rate, plus a value for guaranteed response time. Tier them by response time and coverage.
- Price per room or per system rather than per hour when coverage is predictable, so clients can budget.
