I am in the process of putting up a 4br maisonette and I have reached the point where I need to do the wiring. The quote from the QS was 200k to do the electrical installation for the whole house. Sasa, I have kwamad after doing the slab and I want to finish downstairs (2br, sitting cum dining, kitchen, study and 3 baths)and move in kwanza. The electirican has given me a qoute of 200k just to do the downstairs. The major cost is the wires where he says I will need 13 rolls of red, and 10 rolls each of green and black. Now, considering that a roll is 90 metres long and the house is 18m x 9.5m, and seeing the discrepancy with the QS quote for the whole house, I feel I may be getting ripped off. Please can anyone advise how I can go about estimating how much wire I will need?
