Sub Trade Costs

I am doing my best to get as many quotes for sub trades as possible. It is quite interesting to see the variation. Depending on who you pick can make a big difference in the overall cost of your project.

Some examples:

1. Drywall quotes have ranged from $1 to $3 per board feet.
2. Plumbing rough in quotes have ranged from $7000 to $14000
3. Electrical rough in quotes have ranged from $7000 to $14000 as well
4. Forming/Framing - ranged form $7 to $11 (including foundation forming).

I had quotes from five different window suppliers based in the Lower Mainland, they were:

1. Vinyltek
2. Westtek - went with Westtek in the end because I could also get all my doors from them.
3. Westcoast - it was a toss up between Westcoast and Westtek, both did a very good job.
4. Oasis - terrible experience. Un-interested sales person and the quote was one page.
5. Euroline - expensive but nice windows
