Hi I am new here. Just got a HUGE shock from my ID who quote me on electrical works:
Here's the breakdown:
1. Supply & run new light points $40 x 46 points = $1,840
2. Supply & install 13amp double power point $65 x 9 = $585
3. Shifting of switches / power point $35 x 6 = $210
4. Supply & install SCV point $110 x 3 = $330
5. Supply & install telephone point $55 x 2 = $110
6. Supply & install ceiling fan $50 x 1 = $50
7. Supply & install oven point c/w switch $65 x 1 = $65
8. Supply labour to run speaker cable $55 x 1 = $55
9. Installation of lights $10 x 51 = $510
10. Installation of doorbell $10 x 1= $10
11. Touch up old wiring = $150
12. Supply labour to hack partial wall ( Conceal wiring ) $700
13. Supply & plaster smooth defected walls $700
TOTAL = $5,315
I think its totally ridiculas amount and i was really disappointed as I trusted them. Btw, i only got the breakdown of the costing after everything was done. Can anyone tell me what can I do?
When we discuss about electrical costs, we always told its about $2K plus... but $5K is not acceptable. Can anyone advise?
