The most expensive thing there will be the mudding and finish of the ceiling. I had started to look at getting the mudding done for my basement and was shocked at the prices people wanted. Having said that, now that I'm doing it myself I do have a new appreciation of why the cost was so high.
As for the electrical, you should have an idea of how many plugs, switches, and light fixtures you want, and who will be supplying the fixtures. Light fixtures can go from $10 each all the way up to several hundreds, so that is a huge margin there.
Also is your current basement outside wall framed with steel studs or wood? Once again, different wire needed for steel studs.
