You raise good points:
8 spots
12 pendants
34 sockets
All in existing locations so just need chasing, one structural wall running down middle of house (may be added complexity). Remaining walls are partitions with plasterboard.
Quote includes replastering all downstairs ceilings (from stipple to smooth).
Located in Dublin 8.
Now, we're starting to get somewhere ! Just not quite there, yet. But it is better than "My mate has a car for sale, he wants €5000, it's a black one, is this expensive ? "
RE.
8 spots......Low/High voltage, Halogen/LED, Dimmable/Non Dimmable, Plastic/Metal/Brass/Chrome/Brushed, Standard/Remote switched, Surface/Recessed ? Broad price spectrum X 8
34 Sockets......Single/Double, Switched/Non Switched, Indicated/Non Indicated, Plastic/Metal/Brass/Chrome/Brushed ? Broad price spectrum X 34
12 Pendants.....If metal sockets are used I would assume you would have matching switches. Some dimmable (LED being dearer), again quite a broad price spectrum X 12 (?).
Immersion timer, Instant electric shower, central heating power valves, loo vents, extraction fans, smoke/CO detectors etc. ?
Assuming changing all ceiling panels as I reckon this is a better (easier ?) job than skimming over stipple and patching panels for a professional smooth finish.
On the surface I do agree that 14K, at first, does appear excessive but as more information is given that initial surprise does start to diminish somewhat.
Hi Byron,
I work for a company of electricians and that is an enormous quote. I disagree with spark rite on this.

It's what you're not saying that people disagree with most!!Just purely out of interest, what did I say that you disagree with ?
Hi Byron,
I work for a company of electricians and that is an enormous quote. I disagree with spark rite on this. For example we just quoted and got the job below for €6,800 + V.A.T. maybe we are far too cheap.
