We were recently asked to bid a similar project. We do mostly commercial and industrial work and explained to the customer that we would probably be high.
The job included a lot of recessed lights and ceiling fans in most rooms.
We proposed using CAT 5 instead of CAT 3 for phone wire and RG6 Quad shield for future home networking. A 200A OH SE w/Copper wire in conduit and a basic Leviton Home Networking panel. We bid $7,200.00. Another contractor got the job for just under $4,000.00. I'm sure that he didn't include provisions for home networking but theres still a big spread. I would like to know how anyone makes any money doing homes for this price. How much profit is there? How long does it take? How many men? How much are the men paid? Someone please, please reply.
