Thanks a lot Espken! Will PM you

Thanks for your replies! When I raise that the prices seem high, his explanation is that if I just using existing points and wires, the prices would be totally cheaper, but here he has to re-lay all new wiring hence increased prices, which sounded reasonable to me cos i'm really newbie at this... But I guess from your replies that I'm just being super chopped. Would really appreciate if you all can give me pointers on market prices for some of the really more crazy expensive items in the quote...like wld the pricing for double point be more than $50 if it's concealed wiring? Thanks so much!

Hi I'm currently renovating my old condo so doing full re-wiring. My ID gave me this quote and seems really high based on prices in this forum!
