Hello everyone,

we are buying a 4-room apartment with 110 m² (1,184 sq ft) from a developer and naturally want to increase the number of standard electrical outlets (who can manage with the usual amount anyway?!).
The electrician’s quote is still pending, but I would like to get some rough price estimates for comparison.
What might an additional double electrical outlet (branded, but without gold plating) including some wiring and installation typically cost?

I also have no idea about a star topology network wiring (Cat7) with five outlets (Cat6a) converging in the utility room. Of course, it depends on cable length, but the apartment isn’t huge...

I would appreciate any estimates or insights.

Your question is understandable, but what good will it do you? The electrician has their set price, and why should they change it? Maybe you can negotiate a few percent, but in the end, you have to accept what they offer you.

With developers, it’s take it or leave it. For us, it was 75€ per power outlet and 100€ per network socket, both in double configurations.

Do you get reimbursed the same amount if you install one less outlet?

Anything from 30 to 300 is possible...

At least they refund 200% of that.. we only received 195%.. very disappointing
