I have had my Electrical Contractors license in California for over two years now. I have mainly done residential service work which is an excellent way to break into the industry in my opinion.

However, I'm wanting to bite off a bit more. I'm interested in wiring a semi-custom home. It would be 2500 to 3500 sq. ft.

Obviously I have to sit down and make a detailed list inspection of the plans and make a material list. As a guide, I'm wondering if anyone has any short cuts they use for price per sq. ft. When bidding. Actually, this and any other advice would be appreciated that helps with bidding new residential construction.

Many thanks,
Byron Wise
