*Disclaimer - I am green as can be, newly licensed NJ EC done a couple of small jobs thus far but this is my first estimate on a new home. This is a great place to learn, so please feel free to comment and/or criticize at will.
I got the job from a builder who has already given me a decent amount of work, he is building the house and I know I have the job, FWIW I just want to be sure I don't offend or sell myself short. He gave me the plans he drew (no electric) and I basically drew the electric to code as well as 4 cans in the liv. room and 2 pendants over the kitchen island (he asked for those).
Specs:
2200 Sq ft. Full Basement, Upper middle class central Jersey shore area. Builder pays permits & supplying all fixtures except cans, bath fan/lt's, and keyless.

7 Keyless
1 Disco

I came up with $13,500.00, this number feels high to me....is that because it is? :grin: Is that because I worked for a sq/ft. price estimating lowballer for a few years prior to getting my seal?:grin: I have no shame, I told you I was green.
