Your bid is high. Thats like a $4000 job and will probably get bid at <$3600 including the service, builder supplies the fixtures & bulbs.

36 man hrs, & less than $2k materials.

Its cut throat around here, seriously $1.70 sq ft bids are common.

Ya gotta be kidding ?? 1.70 USD per sqfoot just for basic set up ?? if that the case I will just bolted from that low price.

Unforetally it not only affect in USA but Europe as well we do feel the effect as well.

The last resdentail house I done in USA it ran 3.12 USD per sq foot { 90% of my time I never use the sq foot price at all }

Merci, Marc

Includes an underground service.

I don't us a sq ft price either besides something to check my estimate against.

I don't bid on any new constructions homes because of these prices. We'll I do bid on some but I rarely get them.

I imagine this has to be an AFCI job since we are on the 2008. A am not sure about the fan deal. The builder may be buying the fan.
