I got a quote, I think its high - setting 4 floor new office Network Infra

Hello all!

My company just leased a new office in London. We are setting up our internet infrastructure for our office. We have contacted a network infrastructure company called 'CloudSwitched'. https://www.cloudswitched.com

The office is 6 floors (we lease it all, we sublease (2) floors to (2) different tenants). 6 Floors in total + a rooftop

We plan to have 30 - 50 in this office in next 5 years. Starting off with 10-20 (on our 4 floors + rooftop)

They gave us a quote of approx $10,000 to install this through all 6 floors:

I feel that this is high for all 6 floors and 3 vLans. I know a lot about technology and computers, but not a lot about networking. IMO - We simply need some network switches, with a router, and a few Wireless access points. I can set that up in my house for:

$400 - Nighthawk Router or something$300 - 64 port network switch

$1000 - 4x $250 Wireless access points.

That is $1500, lets say $2500 with labor.

What do you guys suggest? Im really not a pro on this. Am I under-killing it? or is the quote over-killing it
