Hey guys.
Have any of you guys had to bid a modular home blind that has not come in yet?
I have received plans on a 2 story 3/2 1900sqft modular home. The homeowner tells me It was wired at the factory already and that all i had to do was the 200 ampservice. Well i went to the factory myself and the electricians were telling me all these things i had to finish on the inside. Like running all these circuits from the attic to the basement and all kinds of other things that were left undone and that when the light fixtures shipped in late i had to hang them all as well of course to complete inspection.
Of course the company salesperson told the h/o that it was not much needed to be done after they receive this home but i found that too hard to believe. The salesperson also told the h/o that the electric cost would be low like 6 to 800dollars.
I gave them a low price of 3000 to do everything including testing and any repairs needed since the factory wired it. No telling who they let run circuits in there????? and they blew there top saying it's already done all i have to do is the service 3000 is way too high i need the electrical permit to start any phase of construction. Can someone please tell me if i am out of line with this estimate? I thought it was pretty low.
What are some of you guys experience with these unforseen modular homes? Have you done them before? It seems to me like i would be cleaning up some factory guys mess and fixing things that don't work.
