Get anorher quote or two to compare.

If you are calling someone from kepong to go to cheras, then is fair esp if the contacts from social media adverts.

If is within same area, in my opinion can nego lower.

I find it expensive. For the renovation with *volume, usually it should be around RM 120-140/point.

Your case is slightly different. You don't have the volume but only 1 point. For 1 point, the contractor may charge you the opportunity cost lost to carry out the work ( if they send their worker somewhere else, they can generate more productive revenue). If you can't get any friendly neighborhood technician/ contractor to help you to pull, you may have to close 1 eye to accept the price.

Why don't you visit your nearby area hardware shop & ask try to the hardware shop for the electrician contacts.

the rm500 quote was from neighbourhood.. as u said.. it is just one-off-one-point work.. we need to bear with their time spent as well biggrin.gif
