I'm an electrician and i gave a price for this today just curious what people think it would cost. Contractors, electricians specifically chime in but home owners can too.
The guy wanted a small kitchen and powder room wired they were remodeling this old farm house. It was all open but they are building walls and framing to seperate the kitchen from the powder room.
The scope..
1 range/oven circuit
1 cooktop circuit
1 radiant floor heating circuit
2 s/a counter top circuits
1 disposal
1 fridge circuit
1 range hood circuit
6 can lights in kitchen
1 exhaust fan in bathroom
1 dedicated bath gfi circuit
1 bathroom can light
that's the rough then i have to wire the appliances and do the finish work.
You don't state the distance to the breaker box, but you are looking at two, perhaps three days of work. You also don't say which part of the country, inspector issues, materials grade, whether this is a trust fund baby playtoy or dirt farmer trying to upgrade, etc. With that in mind, ROUGH guesstimate - somewhere north of $1000, with $1500 being distinctly possible - unless you work for a couple cases of beer and tickets to a big game.
I paid over $1500 labor just for recessed lighting in a kitchen, remodel and expansion, with open access to the walls and ceiling. So, I would say that for the scope of work presented, by a licensed electrician, I would expect the labor quote to be around $3500, plus permit costs and additional fixture costs, i.e., specification of a different type of recessed fixture, dimmers, etc. For a quality job with decent materials, not extravagant fixtures, I'd expect to pay $5000-$6000+, depending upon permit cost.

It does happen more often than you might think. A farmer is more likely to be happy with a solid job with no esthetics, someone playing house might be anticipated to need repeated callbacks.

FWIW, I just saw reference that the C.O.L. in NYC, San Fransisco, and D.C. are roughly twice the national average, so your figures are actually close to mine, since I live in an area with lower than average C.O.L..

At minimum what do you expect this to cost.
36-4500 is my range. Depending on the possible need of AFCI breakers, LED dedicated can lights, permits, inspection etc
Circuits 25' or less
Rough, trim out, labor and materials
$2600-3400
