   Turn key, Pella Casement, galv. well and acrylic cover with average interior finish in south east nebraska will cost you between 3 and 4k. You can spend a lot more without really trying.

   Naive but refreshing !

   The last one we did was subbed to the a mason.  He got $650 to cut the hole set the window, dig the well and put in the metal well ring.  We provided the window and I think it was $200 ish.  I charged $1400 for it.  DanT

   I checked some prices around here.

   US Waterproofing was 4-5k, complete.

   Do it myself, hire concrete cutter was about 2k.  Buy the window unit, well, etc as a kit, around $1,200 if my memory is correct.

   So, ballpark, 3k low end, 4-5k high end.

   Assuming a textbook installation with no worries...Dig hole, cut opening, install window, install well unit, install cover - I'd say you're at $5k based on the ones I've done.

   We did our own work except for the concrete cutting. All told it cost about $1500 for a 6 SF window and a 12 SF X 4' deep well:

   Excavation, backhoe rental, pickup & delivery $300
   Concrete saw work (2 hrs, 2 guys, money well spent!) $300
   (cut slab was dropped in bottom of well and left there)
   Retaining wall blocks and gravel for the well $250
   Sump pump and wiring $200
   Casement window with egress hardware $380
   Wood, trim & misc. $50

   That was four years ago, so prices are probably 20% to 40% higher now.
