$5053

Electric to be used from the existing panel. 

Price does not include permits or landscaping. The quote is reflective of using minimums in the pricing due to the small size of building. Examples are such things as excavation, concrete, drywall finish, and concrete finish.

I've included pictures of the front (East side) of the home. Behind the cypress and the fence to the left is where the bedroom is. They want to remove trees and tear down the fence to get there (Gate is at the other side of the yard).

@Robert Molloy this looks reasonable to me. If you subtract contractors overhead and profit of 25% and the allowance that leaves about $20k for cost of the work.

Did you get any other quotes?
