I don't know if I rank as qualified, but I have DIY'd this type of thing before and it's not rocket surgery (sorry any electricians out there, no offense intended). I can certainly do it this time as long as I know what I'll need. I already have a 4 wire 30a dryer outlet and face plate but I'll need to go get a breaker if one is needed. The key is making sure the main breaker is off before touching any wires.
This may be one of those things that just depends on the actual builder because I believe there is just a blank plate behind the dryer where the outlet would go, so my guess is there is no breaker in the box either, or at least not one that is connected to the wire. I just hope the wire itself is pulled already.
