cost of lighting, gear and commodity

[deleon2kona]

id like to request and draw from the vast experience of this forum. i would like to find out what portion of a building cost is spent towards lighthing, gear and commodities (pipe wire etc)

(im sure there vast exceptions)
but for a simple 10 unit apartment building,
what would be a cost for electrical gear, lighting and others would be individually.

i have heard that electrical gear is a mere 5 % of the building cost and that lighting is up to 30%, where as the the infrastructure (concrete, metal) cost is 50%...the rest is pipe, wire, and wall devices

is that a fair assumption?

There is to much variation to put an accurate % on any of those items.

I dont know where you are getting your numbers from but if you are asking what percentage of the total building cost is electrical it usually runs from 9 to 15 % of the entire building.
