Well, keep your day job...LOL

Job hasn't been completed yet, but the cost from the POCO to trench and install (transformer and all) etc. ended up being just over $6200. Keep in mind that's just the POCO cost for build out and install, not the cost to build the house etc.

Thanks for providing that. It's always useful to have a point in time/location reference.
Was the bill by the "foot"?

I don't expect other people is other areas to have similar costs.

Oh, I dunno... Pretty similar for some of us. Cost of rolling your own is a lot less, but it's a ton of work.

The design was not billed by the foot. The entire distance ended up being 157' on the plan/design which breaks down to about $50/ft.

I suppose if I had more time and it was an expectation, I could have done it myself and/or contracted all or some it out. But there's guys that do this every day, and have experience, and I'm glad to pay the price to get that experienced and knowledgeable install. I have a few pictures of the cutting/trenching done in my primary thread as you saw.

Thanks to all for the answers and comments - from here I'll consider this thread done, and only reply if there's questions. If anyone wants to follow along with the rest of the build, the thread is here: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/attached-garage-in-hill-country-700sq-ft.520505/
