get 2nd quote as comparison

Actually it is a 3-Storey Bungalow house and my friend sent his quotation to me and i'm shocked from the pricing as well. He seeking advise from me

no wonder, and must be those real atas t15 bungalow area
the quotation also very 'industrial way', i mean it looks like those developer construction bq type mia quotation

Yea wor, he bought a land and built his dream house. But he not familiar with the electrical stuff so he ask me, and i got no experiences as well. I wonder how come one ceiling mount lighting point cost him RM 96.70, just wiring wor

location gua
contractor takes advantage of it, when he sees big fish

even your friend ask someone else to quote, I guess more or less the same thing comes back

35mm Armoured Cable

from TNB Meter to your DB

RM9000+++++ ???????????????????

Attached thumbnail(s)

3-Phase Incoming and the distance is around 30feets only

I just wonder what is the average price for a ceiling mount lighting points. Impossible RM 96 just for few thin wire ma right

A little bit high but fair if the workmanship is good. If you cannot afford it then get another quote to compare

At first glance

1) Please look into the lighting point .. Only crazy people will direct lighting every point to DB.. looking at the BQ .. thats a lot of ceiling light point.
Contractor need to split the quantity
a) direct light point to DB - how many point direct to DB
b) How many point will be looping from the direct point (price should be lesser than the direct to DB price )

from that BQ- the contractor simply put everything as direct... not split looping and direct pricing..

this will save a lot of RM

2) Same goes to the 13amp power point.. not every point goes direct to DB... some point just need to loop side by side...... (depends on the electrical usage or appliances used)

3) Does this price inclusive concealed plastering works back after the installation of conduit?


hope this help
cheers mate

Thanks a lot man, this is very informative for me ! Then i will discuss with my friend regarding of this issue.

same goes to your wall light point & garden light point ......

sure.. no problem

Seriously better get another quotation..

First glance already shocked with the pricing...

Really maximizing $$$$ & milking your friend...

What brand they quote for cable, socket etc?

Hopefully its a high quality product

I'm not surprise if it is from some famous company on Youtube. But more importantly apart from price, make sure the contractor can follow ST standard and not cheap out on materials. Alang alang already have beautiful bungalow, do the wiring properly so it is worth the long term stay.

Eh … I’m thinking about the same company featured in YouTube as well as well when I saw this quotation … hahaha…

Which company?? 🤔🧐

Care to share 🙏

If cannot post publicly, then just PM

Having way too many circuit is pointless if it does little to improve the safety and may even overwhelm the home owner. If you really had that much budget, using RCBOs with FE plus GI conduits & trunking will provide additional safety. S type RCD to protect the submain cables, phase sequence relay, SPD with 32A 4P MCB/MCCB.

At a quick glance, it is cut throat price.
1. Use only double socket outlets to reduce cutthroat.
2. 15A outlet at that price should use 4mm² instead of 2.5mm² cables.
3. Do you really need that many waterproof socket outlets? It better have it's own dedicated RCD or you will have RCCB trippings when the leakage got worse overtime.

How much is the land + 3 storey bungalow price?
