Re: Wiring install. How Much ?



Ian,
 
I am having similar done,
 
10 x CT100 £188.50
16 x HiFi Speaker (8x biwired) £268
68 x CAT5e £1250
4 x Ceiling Speaker runs £98
Chasing all boxes to 47mm £585
Comfort extras £750
===
£3139.50
 
Average run is about 15m, all run to node0 in the garage.
 
This is _including_ the cable costs as well. (won't give a break down for labour),
and the building company adding 30% mark-up on the contractors work.
 
Again I am terminating all the cables myself, builder is leaving blanking plates on the walls.
 
We did manage to get the quote down by using Mayflex 4in1 Cat5 cables, as the contractor was quoting to run each cable, even though each point had 4 cables which he could run in one lot.
 ( www.mayflex.com search for part 100-110 )

Subject: [ukha_d] Wiring install. How Much ?

Hi All
 
Today I have received the quote for the electrician to add my extra wiring to our house that is being built. This basically consists of
 
40 runs of cat5
8 runs of ct100 coax
12 runs of alarm cable
8 runs of speaker cable
and route all lighting wiring via node zero for me to alter when I move in.
I am to provide all the cables and the price is to only install the cables and back boxes, I am to terminate all cables and provide the face plates.
 
The quote is a staggering £3700. What do you lot think ! What would you consider to be a fair price for the work ? I'm just trying to get some idea before I speak to them in the morning !
 
Thanks
 
Ian D.
