That's not terribly high. $25-30k would be more reasonable, but there is a lot of work out there right now.
If you know what you are doing hire each trade separately and you can probably get it down to $12-15k. If you really know what you're doing you can do it yourself with a couple friends from your local the Home Depot parking lot for maybe $9k.
Another strategy is to post the job on craigslist without your address. Provide as many details as possible and see who responds. Require references and check them before you let them look at the job. You can usually tell who actually knows what they are talking about and someone who doesn't.
Never pay anyone anything in advance. Try to buy the materials yourself.

It's fairly obvious you are just pulling random numbers out of your arse.
