I just got the invoice from my electrician.
Job was for 40 metres of mains supply n a prepared trench,
running cable for power and light in 2 rooms ( 6M x 6.4M bungalow),
9 power points, 6 lights, fan, switches etc.
cable only and a switch board, hardware not done yet.
labour was $630 + gst, no problem.
materials were $1882 +gst !!!!!!!!
i am going to try to cost the materials myself.
i reckon he has about doubled what he would have paid for the materials.
Does anyone know if there a sort of industry standard or guideline for the mark-up on materials?
Or how did your electrician charge you for materials?
