Average Cost of Network Cable Installation

[Rishalin]

Hello,

I am looking at pricing for network installations, does not have to be exact prices - average will be fine too.
I am helping someone put together pricing for a network installation - and not really sure what is the rate at the moment.

Cabling will be UTP CAT5 or CAT6 around 10 points and a wireless network setup.

I seen one company which charges R650 per point (excl VAT) for CAT5 and R700 (excl VAT) for CAT6.

Any feedback welcome..

Thanks,

Depends which city you're in as well.

It's about R250 per a point here in Durban.

Definitely go CAT6...

If it is only 10 points, why not do it yourself? Wifi can be done with APs; make sure it has a decent password and you're all set.

Yip thats the plan, but still need to charge the client and I dont know whats the going rate for installations. So dont want to over charge or under charge

The rates you've got there is more or less the going rate. Cheapest I've found (from a proper company) is R550 per point for CAT5e and R650 per point for CAT6.
