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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

angmoh 0 Report post Posted November 21, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
