cost of electrical supplies

[OIIIIIIIO]

Hi,

I thought I had asked this in another thread but couldn't find it...and maybe it's in a thread done by someone else (didn't look for that but will soon...)

Is there any general estimate as to the cost of electrical supplies for a garage by sq ft. (100 amp service coming from the house if it makes a big difference...about a 65' run of wire from the box in the house to the garage)? Something like it's typically $25 per square foot...something like that? I'm sure things can vary widely...just trying to get a rough idea...just trying to budget a bit but won't have to figure in labor as I will be doing the electrical work myself with an electrician buddy telling my the what/when/where and how...

Thanks,
Patrick

per sq/ft is meaningless since it cant consider how many receptacles you are installing, what type of lighting, etc. Anywhere from $500 to $50,000.

Hi

I figured as much...looking for kind of a middle of the road guestimate for a "typical" garage...nothing fancy...'bout 1200 sq ft with 2 garage doors (openers not included)...
