Market Rates For Electrical

Featured Replies

Dear All:

Just got a electrical quote (thru ID) and I know that the rates are ridiculous. I expect, and am willing, to pay a bit above market rates since the process may go smoother due to ID Recommendation, but I don't expect to be price gauged.

Can someone let me know what are the market rates for what they have quoted? Or if you know of a good recommendation, do let me know.

Thanks so much, that confirms my suspicions. I don't mind for paying for an honest day's work, but gauging like this just pisses me off. If anyone has a good electrician to recommend, I'd gladly give them the business. PM me if you know, thanks!

PM u liao

my ID marked up about 10% to the market rate, which i think is reasonable. I considered that as their reward for coordination, and certain level of responsibility that they have to bear.

40-50% is way to0 exorbitant.

MY electrician did my 5rm new flat at punggol only cost me less than 2k in total.

Anything above 2.5k is expensive to me IMHO
