Got a quote from a plumber that is roughing in all of our waste/water/gas lines in our brewpub and had him give me a quote on the following scope of work:
We hereby propose to furnish material and perform the labor necessary to install supplied brewing equipment.
This proposal includes the Installation of all steam system components, piping, condensate return piping, steam
traps, solenoid valves, system controller, insulation, and wrapping, all chiller system components including all piping,
insulation, wrapping, hanging materials, balancing valves, propylene glycol mixture, and system setup and check. All
air compressor system piping and components excluding compressor are also included in this proposal price.
The system is a pre-plumbed (just a header and return necessary) 7 BBL Steam System. We have four 7 BBL Conicals and two 7 BBL Brites as well as the plate chiller that need glycol connections. This also includes steam connections to a separate large Hot Liquor Tank that is being added to the existing two-vessel system and a two-head keg washer/filler.
His total price for this scope of work is $15,830. Half upfront, half after.
I should note that I had a previous quote from another plumber months ago that told me a round number of $27,000 before I had my brewhouse pre-plumbed by the manufacturer.
I guess my question is whether or not this an outrageous quote.
All advice welcome.
