it depends on what you mean build you can go to Home Depot and get a sump pump for around $100 for mid level if you mean cutting the hole in the basement floor (concrete) it can become very expensive if you hire someone to do the work but if you do the work yourself you should be able to do it for between $100-$200 and only should take a couple hours (make sure to check codes in your town/city) good luck
You can buy pumps at MANY sites from $50 up to about $100 and up. However, the installation is something else entirely. If you already have a pump in place, putting in a new one would normally be an easy job . However if you want to put a pump into a drain that does not have one, there would likely be a lot of work to do-- digging out a hole in which to put the pump-- likely breaking up some concrete to make the hole, lining the hole with new concrete,connecting the pump to the drain and putting in the wiring to the pump.
Labor costs vary from place to place and it might even be hard to find someone to do this kind of work. I think $500 would be a good deal in a case like this.

It depends entirely on the usage, - whether you are simply keeping a basement dry, or if you have an occupied basement with toilet and bath facilities. - Simple sump pumps for keeping a basement dry should sit in a depression at the lowest point in the basement. In their very basic form, these can pump up through cheap plastic pipe to a main drain. This system can cost as little as 300-350 installed.
-For an occupied basement there are many self contained tank/pump units that are much more robust and complex, using a small septic pump in a garbage bin sized tank to pump up on demand from a float switch. These can cost between 800-2000 to buy and install properly.

You would need a sump pump repair if the sump pump in your basement is not pumping out water. The purpose of a sump pump is to drain excess water that is part of your waterproofing system.
You do not need a plumber to install or maintain a sump pumping system. As long as you provide adequate exhaust for the pump to take its water to, there should be no complications with a sump system.

Yes. Check local electric codes to see if a disconnect is required at the sump pump. One way is to wire a single 15A circuit to an outlet for sump pump. Then the disconnect is just to unplug the pump for service.
Average cost for a decent quality sump pump would hover around $1,600 installed Not sure where the 1600 number comes from. If you do an internet search, they can range from 100-300 dollars. Chances are, if you have one installed, it may run you between 200-300 dollars.
