Ben1988Hello everyone,
Here are some basic details about the house: single-family home (basement, ground floor, and upper floor), approximately 180 sqm (1,940 sq ft), solid construction with brick.
We had the architect exclude the heating/plumbing (which I can handle myself) and electrical work. Recently, we had an appointment with a friend who will do the electrical installation for us. What do you think about the costs?
- Downlights LTS
Planning downlights, ceiling plan, recessed fixtures: about €5,000 - 6,000
- Step lighting from basement to upper floor: about €1,500
- LS switch system by Jung: about €1,500
- Bus system (KNX/EIB): about €6,000 + Jung control panel €1,500
- Outdoor lighting with dusk sensor control: about €400
- Indoor intercom system by Jung: about €500
He said that including all materials and labor, the total would be around €28,000.
Do you think these costs are reasonable?
Are there alternatives, especially for the downlights?
Are downlights even practical?
Thank you very much.
Best regards,
Benjamin

Our project involves about 200 sqm (2,150 sq ft) of living space plus a basement, solid construction with concrete and aerated concrete.
Costs for electrical work without a bus system (some Homematic for shading and heating), exterior lighting, switch systems Gira E2, and Gira intercom currently around 30,000 (currency). I initially thought that was clearly too expensive, but after some inquiries, it seems to be a realistic price.
He was not enthusiastic about step lighting so far... but I don’t want to negotiate on that. Do you already have something more specific in mind?

You will always find people here who pay less. However, for the products and services you mentioned, I definitely find the price fair, although I honestly expected it to be higher. A few suggestions:
- What about the meter cabinet and distribution boards?
- The outdoor lighting is quite "cheap"; please make sure to focus on quality here.
- Which functions are you implementing with KNX?
- What kind of Jung panel is that? I’m not familiar with Jung, but does this run without a home server? That is probably not included in the price.
Our house is about twice the size, and when I calculate all the services and components and exclude the work we did ourselves, we come close to 80,000. Our electrician’s prices are almost like online prices...

A gap in the electrical installation.
I handled everything myself after receiving a 3-star HEA rating, Busch-Jäger switches, many ceiling spots, outdoor lighting, garden/garage power supply with a separate control cabinet, 1-2 LAN outlets in every room, several satellite connections, video and audio wiring in 2 rooms, pump controls for the condensate shaft and cistern/garden irrigation, electrical wiring for 9 venetian blinds, and more. For 160 m² (1722 sq ft).
The control cabinet was done by the electrician.
It cost about €6,000.
