Valuation of Electrical Installation: Assessing Electrician's Labor Costs for New Building

Best answers

Is the electrician’s labor quote for installing the electrical system in a new building reasonable without including materials?

The quoted labor prices look quite reasonable, and for Warsaw they may even be a bit low, but a low price does not guarantee good quality [#16173805] A reliable labor valuation cannot be made from the information given, because you need the project details and a site visit to clarify the scope before estimating [#16176199][#16176249][#16174502] Such price lists are often intended for typical single-family houses or flats, and large jobs may not be valuated well by a simple per-point scheme [#16173982][#16174819] The final price depends on concrete details like the number of modules, RCDs, circuits, sockets, and how the installation is actually divided up [#16174838][#16174819] In practice, the investor and contractor should agree on the exact scope first to avoid later misunderstandings [#16174502][#16174507]

    This is the valuation of an electrician (performing electrical installation in a new building). Of course, labor, without material.

    Prices look quite reasonable, as for the realities of Warsaw were even a bit low, but the issue of price is one thing, and how about quality ??

    I invite this electrician to cooperate with you. I have a job for February. One 2080m? room for me to "fix the cables to the ground" for 20 PLN. Please contact me immediately!

    I have already bought PS Material, a robot for a month. Maybe even up to PLN 100 we will pay for the whole :D I'm not a grandfather ;)

    I suspect that this price list was created for single family houses and flats for typical installations, large works are not valued from a point.

    The price list is a price list. When you go to buy a kayzer, no one asks if you are from the factory or privately.

    Sure!
    Then we read the lamentations on the forum that the electrician has washed away, does not answer phones, the installation does not work as it should. And I will not mention the final measurements.
    Investors like to save and then pay double. That's our tradition :D

    It's not a price list, but a job quote

    As usual, the devil is in the details.
    It is necessary to clarify a few points so that later, after the fact, there will be no misunderstandings like:
    investor - and I thought ...
    contractor - and I meant that ...

    But this is probably not our role. The investor and the contractor have to get along with each other.

    It is impossible to make a normal valuation of the entire installation :?:

    I suspect that the price list of such a service, later it will turn out that there is one RCD for the whole house and all circuits a total of 6 units.

    It may also be that if the pricelist pricing is to go out profitably, the socket will be every meter so that the points agree with the planned collection of the sum for the service ;)

    In this particular case, rather not. At the end of PLN 12.00 / module.
    With 200 modules, it is PLN 2,400.00. Only take.
    That's why I wrote - refine the details so I would not wake up with my hand ...

    Only what a layman has to do, who is happy that cheap. The light bulb is a well-made installation. An electrician can only be assessed by another electrician who has more knowledge. Ehh :(

    Therefore, before an approximate valuation, it is worth getting acquainted with the project, and being a contractor, make a local visa on the site.

    Anyway, based on the data provided by the author of the topic, it is impossible to estimate labor costs rationally.

    Local vision = total cost. So much in the subject :)
