Did he give you an parts list that he will be using? I'm in the process of running the electrical to my pool. I have a 60ft run to make, that's not counting the run across my attic. Conduit to run it under ground, a pool timer and GFIC box at in my garage. My parts so far total approx $400. Then again, i'm not an electrician. I'm an electronic technician, but not an electrician. Maybe i'm missing something.
