price of rewiring......and interior carpentry

pigeonpie

We are thinking of doing up a wreck of a 3 bed 1960s house in France.
We need to use an overall co-ordinator of works as we're Uk based.

Quotes so far: 10000 euros to rewire the house and garage, including all power points, electric light points (no fixtures) and radiators - presume 1 in each bedroom, 1 in the bathroom, 2 in the lounge/diner and 1 in the kitchen; plus wiring for kitchen appliances & washing machine, tumble drier and freezer in the garage (the existing wiring has been condemned as dangerous).

We can't get the co-ordinator of works to give us a price on the interior doors (we want 1 double glass door from lounge to hallway - maybe a slider), normal bedroom style doors with new handles or skirtings; also built in cupboards. He says we should look online. Does anyone have any ideas for websites that we could price things on. We want mid range, not the top whack stuff but good quality that will last.

Wondered what anyone thought of the rewiring quote? Our own electrician thought v steep, but he's a one man band with zero overheads and tends to be cheaper than average.
thanks for any thoughts.
PS it is urban France, not rural where things are cheaper. And we don't want to pay cash (risky for legal reasons) so must be properly invoiced.

Can you post an itemised quote, with number of items and cost per item?
