Quick answer
Network cabling costs depend on the number of data points, cable category (Cat6 is common), distances and routes, whether cables run in ceilings, walls or trunking, the rack and patch panel, testing and labelling, and the condition of the building. We survey and quote in writing, itemising materials and labour.
