Good day everyone,

we have received an offer from an electrician (acquaintance from our circle of friends). However, we are a bit uncertain about the costs and whether this is a "normal" price. It concerns a new installation in an existing building of about 150sqm near Düsseldorf.

I am particularly interested in items such as sockets, light switches, and network sockets. It is a wooden house with installation levels and a new floor structure, so no chases.

All Gira standard and including wiring:
Per socket €50
Per switch-off €55
Per two-way switch €90
Per CAT double socket €100
Per thermostat for underfloor heating €120
Fuse box €2000
Patch panel with connection €450

Currently, it is quite difficult to get offers and find electricians who also have time, but I would request further offers if you say it is significantly too expensive.

Thank you very much!

Gross or net? I would say it is not too expensive, but also not a real friend price (although proximity to Düsseldorf is certainly just not super cheap). Maybe his friendly offer is that he does it relatively promptly?

All net, we would probably start in September/October, as the last work still needs to be done before then.

I assume this means to also carry out the entire thing? What we did in the existing building, only replaced existing items? I assume there will also be new sockets, so drilling and chasing must also be done accordingly. How far down are you going with the renovation? Complete gut renovation? If that is his "all in" price, I would find that rather normal to cheap.

It is a complete gut renovation with new floor construction and installation levels. Chasing is not needed, as it is a wooden house. All old cables, sockets, etc. have already been removed. The connection is included in the price per socket, etc.

So for us, the additional costs for sockets, switches, network sockets were about 10-20€ cheaper including chasing in the sand-lime brick and that with the electrician from the developer. Against this background, it doesn't sound like a friendship price to me at least. However, the electrician is from the area near Magdeburg, which, as has already said, will certainly make a difference compared to Düsseldorf, and it was also an affordable Busch-Jäger series. Doesn't it maybe make sense to do an overall plan? The electrician surely prefers to do 80 double sockets rather than 100 single sockets.
