Full electrical job costs

[Richard Slade]

what sort of cost range would one be looking at to completely change and update the electrical in a small house.. 

House specs for job would be single story 1000 sq ft.  Also making the job as easy for the electrician as possible in that the house will be empty and he can bust open any wall he needs to as much as he needs to and won't have to refinish after his electric work is done.. The other crew will already be doing all the non electrical work..

I don't believe the cost of electrical can be measured by the square foot of the house. A house that has ten outlets and ten lights is way different than twenty five outlets and twenty five lights. Maybe, just maybe, it can be measured by per outlet/fixture based.

 This is how most of the electricians I work with price their re-wirings -- per outlet/fixture.
