Frequently Asked Questions
Why do prices vary so much between different quotes?
Prices are affected by cable and materials quality, team experience level, warranty terms, and geographic location. A very low price usually signals substandard materials or untrained labor, which costs you more in the long run through repairs and rework.
How do I get an accurate quote for my project?
Ask the electrician to visit the site before quoting, and insist on a detailed written quote specifying cable quantities, conduit types, material brands, number of points, and working days. A verbal quote offers no protection if a dispute arises.
What does a typical rough-in electrical quote include?
Rough-in typically includes main and branch cables, plastic or metal conduits, flush-mounted socket and switch boxes, and the distribution panel with breakers. It usually does not include civil works such as concrete cutting or patching.
Are there hidden costs I should watch for?
Yes — common hidden costs include: wall cutting and patching (a separate civil cost), upgrading the distribution panel if the old one cannot handle new loads, and the earthing system, which is frequently omitted from initial quotes but is essential for safety.
Can I pay in installments?
Yes. Professional contractors accept stage payments tied to progress: a deposit at contract signing (20–30%), a payment when rough-in is complete, and the balance at final delivery after network testing. Avoid paying the full amount upfront.
What do rough-in electrical materials cost in Egypt 2026?
Approximate materials cost for a 100m² apartment (March 2026): El-Sewedy 2.5mm² copper cable ×200m ≈ EGP 2,400–3,000 — 1.5mm² ×100m ≈ EGP 900–1,200 — AC 6mm² cable ×20m per unit ≈ EGP 400–600/unit — PVC conduits + flush boxes ≈ EGP 1,500–2,500 — Schneider 12-slot panel + breakers ≈ EGP 2,500–4,500. Estimated total materials for the apartment: EGP 10,000–15,000 excluding finishing electrical items.
