I have to install a good amount of wire mold in a multifamily dwelling . I wanted to know how much other were charging for wire mold to add outlets or switches on the wall
 
I can not answer pricing. Wire mold is fussy work and the challenge is getting all the right pieces on hand. A good layout sketch is essential.
 
Wiremold will take you 3 times as long as it should. Some pieces will be bent or have to much paints ect. It'll fight you. And whatever you do don't go 500 series you 700. The extra room is that much better. Also pull a ground event though you don't need one. I'm not a green wire cult man but with Wiremold I pull a ground.
 
I would price it a little higher than your pricing for 3/4" EMT. Maybe more like 1" or 1-1/4" EMT. As others have said, it can be a little finicky.
 
In my early years I installed miles of WM 500 and 700. I found it easy to install. Bath then the color was Buff.

Now Plugmold 2000 is another subject. Every time I have had to install it I say I will turn any future job down if even 1' of it is spec'd. Luckily I have not had to install any the past 10+ years.
 
If the person installing it has not not worked with wiremold recently, I would put it at least twice the labor for 3/4" EMT.

We called buff baby puke brown. When WM changed to white we gave all the buff to our school district.
Agree on plugmold, I put some in for my kitchen with GFCI, could only feed from one end.
