Wiring the Living/Dining Room for Overhead Lights

Today we're meeting with an electrician. We'd like him to wire the living/dining room for future installation of dimmable lighting, most likely some sort of pendant lights above the dining room table. We were quoted $350 for this job. I checked on the Brownstoner forum as to whether this is a fair price and it appears we're in the ballpark. As two of the walls in the living room appear to be concrete, we're hoping the other two walls will suffice for this project and there won't be any complications (and added expense).
