How Much Should Electrical Work Really Cost in a Commercial Building?

If you’re a facility manager, chances are you’ve asked this question more than once: “Does this electrical number make sense?”

This article explains what commercial electrical work really costs, what drives those costs, and how facility managers can gain confidence in pricing before projects move forward.
