Ben,
Difficult to know. One of the problems is that it's a bit like HTML
programming - if you want a static installation, you can get your
17-year-old
brother to do it for £10 / hour. In these days of Remotecentral.com having
drivers for everything, it's not as if it's time-intensive to learn the
code -
the added value is in the screen layout and macros.
I'd suggest that you look for a percentage of the installation - say
1% of
the price the customer pays for the entire system?
So - if a customer spends £10k, that would be £100. £10k is at the
bottom
of the custom installation market. If a customer spends £40k, then you'd
get
£400.
Regards,
Mark

Subject:
[ukha_d] Costs for Programming a Pronto
Hello all,
I am looking for some advice and
guidence.
I friend of mine runs a high end Home Cinema and Home
Automation shop,
more and more ofted he is selling Systems and the
customers are totally
confused with the remotre control systems. So he
has
decided to sell
them prontos programmed for their system, and this is
where
I come in.
He as asked my if I will do the programming, for a charge
of
course.
How much should I look to charge?
Most of these
systems
are going to have between 3 and 6 devices and the
programming usually
involves around 2 hours at the customer site
tweaking the
setup.
I
did a simple setup last night for him, consisting of a Plasma, DVD,
Amp
and
Video with 2 hours setup at the customers house and he paid me
£150. I
am
just trying to arrange a more formal agreement so that if I
have to do
more
work then I get paid more. Should I charge per device?
Any ideas and
thoughts?
Regards
Ben
