Guys,
I am a property developer currently undertaking a basement conversion on a bungalow in the Glasgow area. Have appointed a building contractor to do the civils including excavation/ tanking etc. The electrician I've used for the last 5 years is not available and the building contractor has suggested a self employed electrician to do the electrical work. The job will be labour and wire only as I'm sourcing and suppling everything else. The job will involve installing 24 downlights, 4 pendant lights, 10 double sockets, 6 smoke/heat alarms, wall extractor, passive air extractor 6 LL sockets in kitchen for dishwasher, Fridge, Oven etc. Access back to main board is easy through basement space under house. I have had verbal quote from builders electrician that is double what I expected to pay. When I asked builder for breakdown on cost per light/socket fitting all the huffing and puffing started. I appreciate that without seeing the job it can be hard to comment but can anybody give me any idea on normal rate per socket/ light fitting or the daily rate I should be paying. Any thoughts on how many days work this might entail would also be welcome. Thanks in advance.
