Hello everyone,
We received a quote for our electrical network connection about a week ago. The total cost is approximately €6,500. Honestly, we were surprised since we had expected around €2,500. The quote includes the following items:
1) Network connection costs for: cable network connection for electricity with house connection cable 35 - 50 mm² (0.054 - 0.077 in²), house connection box NH00 3 x 50 A; about €2,000.
2) Services for: one piece extension of existing pit due to other trades, 30 m (98 feet) extension of existing house connection trench due to other trades; about €1,750.
3) Service for house entry: 120 m (394 feet) flexible protective conduit, non-buildable area; about €1,750.
Plus VAT of course, bringing the total to approximately €6,500.
Our questions now: Does this all seem reasonable? Especially with items 2 and 3, I’m not quite sure what to make of them.
Thank you.

The price is normal for that length. The €2500 refers to a standard connection 5m (16 feet) away from the street.Okay, I understand. But the water connection will also be added on top of the €6500.

Okay, I understand. But in addition to the 6500 euros, the water connection will also be added. And telecommunications/cable as well, although they often have a standard price regardless of the distance.

2) Services for: 1 pc extension of existing pit due to other trades, 30 m (100 feet) extension of existing house connection trench due to other trades; approx. 1750 €
3) Service for house entry: 120 m (390 feet) flexible protective conduit, not to be built over; approx. 1750 € You can save several thousand euros on these points by doing it yourself. Renting a mini excavator for a weekend might cost about 250 €. It’s not very difficult.
Experience from 2018/2019 in Berlin, 60 m (197 ft) to the street, 3 m (10 ft) utility easement
- Supply trench containing wastewater pipe, empty conduit for water, empty conduit for telecom, electrical cable 5x50 mm2 (5x0.02 in2), two cables 5x2.5 mm2 (5x0.004 in2) for gate opener, outlets, pathway lighting, data cable (video intercom)
Above that, a construction road made of recycled material, house construction, connecting everything, the construction road is now paved over
