Right, I have just gotten a quote back for the places I am building. The quote is for:
The quote includes wiring up the house, dimmer switches in the zones and wall plates for ethernet ports, tv points etc and everything back to a main hub, etc. I was going to do the network as i am in IT but just have too much on. so basically it is the full wire up for the houses which the buyer can then upgrade to whatever he wants ie lutron, etc. It has come in at roughly £13k ex VAT for each place. Can someone in the install business advise if this sounds about right or if this seems in the ballpark.
I worked out that it would cost me £1500 to distribute hd around the house by buying a matrix switcher, and the electrician has already quoted for putting uhf points throughut for freeview. I then figured another £1k for the network including the switches, cables, sockets, etc. The only thing i cannot be bothered to do is the lighting and this is where i have no idea what kind of costs are associated with this. add in my time and the cheapest i was able to work it out was roughly £5k a house for network, audio and video no lighting included.
let me know some thoughts on this or other companies to check out. I live in Edinburgh.
- Network points in all rooms over four floors
- HD TV and UHF points to all rooms (2 lounges and 4 bedrooms)
- basic lighting system throughout (which can be upgraded by customer)
- audio in all rooms with 5.1 in the lounge
