Electrical Estimating 36,000 sq ft.
Is there an average dollar amount per square foot that electrical contractors try to closely stick to when estimating a remodel commercial building?
Gutting an old store and putting in a clothing store. A whole bunch of new lights.
Thanks in advance,
Rese

This is ridiculous. Read the link I gave you. 10 posts in 2 years, mostly about how to price something within your trade.
