Cost estimation for electrical installations

Many thanks for the many feedbacks! Calms us down a bit I will post the details here asap. Maybe there will be one or two more tips for the installation execution itself That would certainly be very helpful.

Without going into wiring/circuitry now, that is really significantly overpriced.

However, I would say that the equipment will be somewhat above the normal standard. The video system will hit hard - certainly 2-3k.

I would have also felt around 15k now, which should already be top price.

Ok, thanks. €15,000 would also have been our "gut feeling." I will upload the wiring - still need to clarify a bit here regarding the rights to the plans.

Per child’s room or overall? Overall is okay.

You can really spend a lot of money here. There are branded switch programs where you get a simple cover for €4 and also ones for over €25. That’s already a €2.5k difference.

Overall, I also agree with Sebastian: based on your presentations and without knowing details, I find that clearly overpriced.

Maybe you can upload the redacted offer.

The indication for the children’s rooms is TOTAL - so half per room.
I will upload the offer - together with the plans then.

I would also have estimated 12-15k now...

Intercom system, outdoor, and the two-way switches are the cost drivers.

It already sounds like a larger installation, but with too little network

Thanks for the hint. Network is available in every room. Mainly for IPTV.
Since almost everything is on one level (a kind of floating bungalow), one should manage the rest with WLAN.

Then you just need to ask the electricians who worked for the other builders for a quote.

Couldn’t the spots also be a cost driver? Depending on circumstances of course ...

The electricians of the other builders are located much further north, that unfortunately doesn’t help much.

Spots are certainly more expensive - especially the installation work as one hears. We are not big fans of spots. In the bathroom and kitchen as support okay - but the rest could be nicer with normal lamps, I think.

Hello,
when I read 10LS here, I ask myself if that means 10 switches or 10 switching points. In the first case, you have one point where 10 switches are installed. In the other case, 10 switching points where each has one switch installed. I think you need significantly more details than you have provided so far to assess this. With many two-way switches, I would recommend going towards KNX anyway. Especially with high-end equipment, that will be cheaper (even if some don't want to believe that)...

Regardless, €28k for a classic installation is actually quite expensive (for a house of this size)

Ok. I will upload the plans soon and gladly put them up for discussion. Price estimate confirms the previous posts, thanks!

Also important, is the fuse box included? How many individually fused sockets (e.g. in the kitchen for dishwasher and each oven and the cooktop). Light switches really important, whether two-way switches and individual points each. Then the spots .. what should one imagine there?

The number of sockets doesn’t seem oversized to me now. I also have nearly 60 sockets in my 66 sqm apartment .

What about roller shutter control?

The fuse box is included, yes. Basically, it is a complete offer from the electrician himself.
The other questions will surely be clarified by the electrical plans. Protection as far as I know individually for everything where necessary.
Spots would be installed in the concrete ceiling.

One could certainly save 10% on the sockets without significant loss of comfort. But that does not seem to be the cost driver.

Request more providers - also sometimes smaller companies.

Hello,

it currently looks like this:

We have obtained an offer from another company, which represents the absolute minimum level of equipment for us. Cost just over 15,000.-- gross. We have blacked out this new offer and given it to the first electrician. Result: also just over 15,000.-- gross. The switch program is branded products from well-known manufacturers and here from the mid-price segment.

Personally, I think that even this minimal version is somehow still too expensive... what do you think?

best regards

Unfortunately, I cannot contribute any help, as I am still in the planning phase myself, but am I seeing this correctly that you are installing almost exclusively single sockets? Why no double or triple sockets in certain places? Too expensive?

It should stay within a reasonable price range and I personally see it as absolutely necessary, for example, in the living room behind the TV, in the kitchen, or in the bedroom on both sides of the bed.

I am a bit confused, in the original post you write about building in the southern German area, but the offer shows 20% VAT and now your construction site is listed as Austria...

I find the costs for connecting the heat pump and the ventilation crazy.

Those were (apart from the fact that we did it ourselves) three cables that were simply connected directly in the distribution board. Heat pump a bit more effort, since two extra meters. But in the end maybe 2 hours of work?

The number of sockets here is the minimum. We have partly increased them a bit. There will of course be double/triple sockets. Exactly where you already mentioned.

Regarding the construction site – well deduced, it is in Tyrol. As a native Bavarian, I count my Tyrolean brothers as part of the southern German area ???? The 1% higher VAT I do not see as a cost driver now.

That also surprises me and I will inquire about that again. Especially the residential ventilation system is a device with 50 or 60 watts power – I don’t imagine it to be complicated.

What do you think about the individual prices of the different items? OK / Not OK?

Best regards
