I'm guessing you mean 'how much romex'......
Approximately 2-3 150m 14-2 rolls. 1 roll of 14-3 should be adequate, 10-3 and 8-3 would have to be determined on site (measured).

I just finished rough-in on 1300 sq ft ranch, used (250'coils) 5--14-2, 5--12-2 and 1--14-3 coil. No elect dryer or elect range. Panel and kitchen where on opposite ends of house. I don't skimp on outlets, bedrooms have seven plus two phones.

Just finished a 1450 sq. (2 story, basement, 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath, interconnected AC smokes, ceiling & bath fan/light, microwave, dishwasher).
Start with- 1500' 14/2 (1000' reel + 2 250' coils) 750' 12/2 500' 14/3
This may seem excessive, but it goes fast, and you still may run out of something. If not, it will stay fresh for the next job.

I forget about that stuff until I visit my mom & in-laws who live outside of the Conduit-Zone (Chicago & suburbs).
It's fast, but gimme my EMT for upgrades & re-wires in the finished wall.
