Cost of plumbing reno in Mesquite, TX???

Hi community,  this is my first post here. I am adding a 1/2 bath and replacing a 3" cast iron pipe under my 1400 sq.ft., pier and beam house thatim renovating. A plumber quoted me $6600 to replace all the plumbing including the cast iron underneath the main bathroom.  Is this a fair ballpark price?? Materials are included and job will be permitted with the city. The job is start to finish. 

Any other recommendations? This was my first quote from a plumber .

    Hard to say without knowing the clearance in the crawlspace.  Low to ground could mean excavation of dirt/tunneling, difficulty in reaching all areas, and is generally just slower.  and more expensive.

    Most importantly, get a 2nd and 3rd estimate and make sure your verify quality of work with past customers, friends, family....  You only want to do a job like this once, so do it right the first time.

    Crawl space has about 2' clearance at its smallest point. 

    I know plumbers are not cheap but seems kind of high to me. 

    I'll ask around for more estimates and request references Etc from them. Thank you.

    Make sure you dont pay entire amount up front and Use a contract and get contractor to sign off on completed job.

     Good tip, thanks. I think I'll have work contract forms for when I get someone chosen
