    Hi Jaskel,

    Mine is Condo.

    Please kindly list down the concealed costs for hacking, relocate and plaster back for power points, lighting point etc...

    Thank you.

    To all,

    I'm not giving my electrician no. to anyone anymore. Cos my electrician complaint to me, he had been making wasted trips to owners' hse to give a quote and in return, most of them use the quotation to press down their contractors or ID electrical work pricing. So I see no point of recommend or passing the contact at all. In fact, I had tested it myself and most of the owners really do it this way, so it was a wasting of time for us to go down and quote.

    This is the quote for my electrician, if the price is ok for u, then PM me, once my electrician goes down, is to sign quotation. If not, don't bother to ask for contact at all.

    Lighting Point x 30

    $25 x 30 = $750

    1 x 13A power point x 3

    $45 x 3 = $135

    2 x 13A power point X 21

    $50 x 21 = $1050

    1 x 15A Air con point X 2

    $90

    TV point X 3

    $90 x 3 = $270

    Tel point X 2

    $45 x 2 = $90

    Data point X 4

    $150 x 4 = $600

    Door bell point & install X 1

    $25

    Cooker & hood point X 2

    $80 x 2 = $160

    Earth bonding (water & gas pipe) X 2

    $180

    Shift DB 15ft X 1

    $90

    New set 40A DB X 1

    $320

    Install cornices lighting X2 4

    $10 x 24 = $240

    Install ceiling lighting X 9

    $10 x 9 = $90

    Regards

    Hi Umaisarah,

    Please kindly let me have your Electrician contact no for Quote B.

    Thank you.

    Ouch! :(

    Zippy - not sure how much you can bargain with the ID and the electrician on the total cost, but just to help you compare, here I give you two prices from two different sources when I was looking for an electrician. Quote A is from ID which is the Ouch price. Quote B is direct from an Electrician recommended to me by a forummer which is the Okay Lah price. Electrician say he give me special price, mbe he bluff me but anyway I take him at face value lah.

    All prices are for concealed wiring

    Quote A aka Ouch Price

    Install pendant/hanging light - $25/light

    Install lights - $5/light

    Install 13A SSO - $50/point (he gv me same price for single or double)

    Install new switches - $12-$15 depend on what type of switch

    Dun hv prices for the other services cuz I dun need them.

    I hv no idea what is this lighting loop, mbe its to do with 2-way switch wiring? You better ask, man.

    Looks like you were quoted ID Electrician price. But even then, it is really on the high side. $90 for concealed switch?! what type of switches they give you? Made of gold is it??

    Mbe you can go and complain to your ID for 'misrepresentation'.

    On good faith, you had went ahead with the electrical works with him/her because you had trusted him when he said it will cost about $2K plus.

    He should have been responsible enough to ask the electrician for a breakdown of the electrical works and alert you when the cost exceeded the $2K plus he had earlier told you. I dun think you can negotiate down to the direct electrician price, but at least you have my ID prices here to compare which I think is really quite high already. Eg, mbe you can negotiate for the SCV price to go down from $200 to $150. Or you can negotiate for lower prices for the big quantity items, like the lighting points and lighting loops whatever it is.

    Btw, you have a lot of lighting points for a 958 sq ft house! My place is 143sqm and I think I hv only 43 lighting points at last count.
