Quotation Calculation For Hours

[whistle]

100m of 8 core is 4 hours regardless.

I tend to work out how long it would take me while im on site then add a quarter of that again for the lads. Seems to work so far but ive only been in this roll fro a year now, Installing all the time before that. Min 1 hour to fit camera, make off ends, connect, zoom and focus properly. Then its just working out cabling times, obviously quicker for Cat 5 than it is for coax

I tend to work on how long it would take me and triple it

I don't think you can generalise like that, different building types etc take longer, ie domestic vs industrial. Sia use a building factor. So (id say an hour per cam is light) we apply 1.7 for a domestic, so if a 1 hour part then its 1.7 for a dwelling type building.

I wired a bank to pub conversion the other month, 14 circuits (2 off rkp, 1 smc off DT) part under boards, part unscrewing plaster board, part above new ceiling & part chased walls for oval, with live & decoy boxes up in 6hrs,

I returned the next day (saturday)& put a xl smc on steel FX with bit of trunking,xl smc on alloy folding door, & xl smc on softwood cellar door, 2hrs

2nd fixed in 6hrs, 9 pir, end station, rkp, xp, end station,

now if the site conditions where better & I had all the gear (short of contacts, twist drills, trunking, oval tube, oval clip) I could have shaved the time down.

However gains in time where whittled by waiting for a wall in the kitchen,

On the flip side of the coin, 2 of us went to add a maglock & move readers & mcp from left to right of double doors, 4 hours of ******* about including the 2a psu failing after being powered down

no magic formula,only takes one thing to go wrong and your over on hours should even itself out over the course tho

I went to do a service today and add detector literally 1m as the crow flies from the panel...

 

All I can say is glad I didn't give a fixed price for the detector.... fffs. Builders had been in since

initial install and it was a triple skin wall with varying height floating ceilngs etc... in what was once (still is a Garage)

a lean to... Panel side once a cupboard, now all neatly decorated with feature wallpaper etc... so couldn't even
trunk it it, had to go up, across, and down again. 3 hours!
