Common questions
Before you hire.
Can you recruit someone with Australian electrical estimating experience?
We can include that in the search requirements. Tell us whether it is essential or preferred and what type of electrical contracting experience matters. Candidate availability and the monthly quote depend on the brief.
Who supplies labour rates and supplier pricing?
Your business supplies current rates, labour allowances, supplier information and estimating methods. Your estimator works with those inputs. Your team reviews the estimate and approves the final tender.
Can we send you individual tenders to price?
This page is for hiring a dedicated electrical estimator, not purchasing a tender-pricing service. The person works within your business under your direction, with Lynk handling recruitment, employment and Manila office support.
