Hi JackyReno Status is stuck and left hanging coz we couldn't agree with the electrician's quote. Its really quite ex. came up to $2.3k for my flat!! And it only involves adding some points and shifting some points....I think the $50/drawer is in addition to what I'm supposed to be paying for my kitchen cabinets and drawers... So if its an additional $50 for a set of blum hinges, issit expensive? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tension_z 0 Report post Posted January 19, 2008 Hi, a fast reply,my lighting point charge is $30 each ($5 cheaper)but my light installation is $15 each ($5 more expensive)Hood and hob point is $120...($30 more expensive)I think they put some price lower, some higher, end up we still pay quite a hefty sum. if you find your quote too expensive, try negotiating a lower price with ur ID, if cannot,then engage another electrician, you can browse through the electrical forum for some electricians which forumers have used. The prices quoted to us are mark-up + mark-up.. if your ID can lower his commission,then win-win situation for both.u have 33 lights?? HmmMMm...y so many?

HmmMMm...y so many?Hmmmm.... 33 includes all the downlights + flourescent tubes (for cove lights).I do not have a hood. I only have a hob, so tt explains the $30 difference?I don't think there's a chance of this electrician lowering his quote or ID lowering his comission. We're looking for another electrician to quote us. Hope can get a cheaper quote and hopefully my ID will be able to work with him. (^_^) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
