Re: Electrical Quote - does this sound right? 17Mar 24, 2009 11:43 am Initially we wanted 40 downlights throughout the house and our builder quoted us $2800 (17 of which was part of a special promotion). Then we've successfully negotiated for 24 free downlights. Good deal to me! Karma - what goes around comes around sooner or later...... Re: Electrical Quote - does this sound right? 18Mar 24, 2009 3:38 pm MeetricC0n charge $96 per downlight I got a quote outside certified electrician for $30 per light for labour and cable and for extra switch or dim light switch extra $25 Provide certificate but I have to supply or buy my own downlight. The question I want to know is For a single storey home will it look different or damage your home if you install downlight and switch like dim light switch or extra switch after completion of the house ???? Downlight is between $14 to $30 each Depend on the quality. Say I spend on the best quality light $30-$40 a light. Then total cost would only be $60 or $70 per light include installation I know that I can save at least $25-$30 per light but is it worth it??? Or what should I tell my builder so that when they run the cable it is downlight ready. Or something that I must be aware of Thanks Melbourne, Victoria My Journey, My Mistakes, My Issues and My Problems My Blog : http://homebuildingresource.blogspot.com/ Re: Electrical Quote - does this sound right? 19Mar 24, 2009 6:37 pm We had bayonet fittings installed wherever we wanted downlights. They cost us $20. Then i bought energy efficiant downlights for $20 each and the sparky is charging us $15 to install. So all up its $55 . Pretty happy with that as we have 40 downlights through the house. I guess the electrical might have been the only thing the builder didn't scr*w us on They using concrete or timber sleepers? Timber or steel uprights? Any drainage behind sleeper? 3 6262 Hi We have a road close to our place and only an old flimsy wooden fence between us and the Neighbour closest to the road.
