The wage is a floor for understanding a quote, never a price. You set the multiplier; we publish no typical markup because we have no citable source for one.What else is in a bill for this trade
- Permit and inspection fees for panel and circuit work
- A licensed master or journeyman on the job, with an apprentice in many shops
