mj,

Around Baltimore a 40 ckt. Sq. D QO panel is about $200 with cover, single pole breakers are $6, two pole $12. 4/0 AL SEU is almost $2/ft.

Panel, $200, 30 breakers @ 6=$180, 6 2p @ $12=$72, permits, taxes etc. Materials alone are more than you are charging.

Add 8-10 hours labor @$50 and I don't see how you can make any money.

Permits alone around here would be between $40-100.

The last on I did I charged $1250, and this was reusing the existing breakers.

Pls don't come to MD, I couldn't stand your prices. LOL
