Just bought myself a cable comb and I was wondering how you keep your numbers in order or at all? Just combing out from the service loop to the rack, all the cables are already numbered. Once you get to the end, won't you end up with a catastrophe of crossed cables? Or would you pick out each...

Havonasun, thanks. Pretty much on the button for what I was thinking regarding time.

I've got a new offer to quote today. A simple rough in of 3 pos data, one office data, and one voice. This is coming from an electrical contractor bidding on the job, so I would be subbing. Dimensions are 53' x 15' Straight run from back to front for the POS through t-bar ceiling. data and...

So what numbers would you all come back at?

Wow, that was great advice. I'll look into those things you suggested. As for the slabs, I have already researched those and decided I wouldn't have attempted them. He would have to take care of that.

I estimated 40 hours for everything. 17 hours to pull the cable because I would be pulling three at a time at 40 minutes per. Other than that, your estimate of the time involved is pretty close to mine. I'm off by three hours. I also estimated 5 hours for the tray even though I have never done...

BTW, how much do you typically mark up material?

Thanks guys. I have a feeling he's trying to chisel me because I'm new to starting my own. The guy wanted to use a bunch of old loaded panels with labels clearly saying DEAD on some of the jacks for a communication center. I advised that would be a bad idea. I eventually told him to come back...

I gave my first quote to the client subsequent to my first post regarding the pre tensioned concrete slab thread. He never did give me his budget and told me he is using his line of credit to make his com room. I'm new at quoting and this would be my second customer, so I want to be as fair as...

No raised floor. Shaw would be actually coring into the floor to bring in two fibers from off the street. Running it from underneath would not be possible.

I've never seen cable management on top of the cabinets before. Is there such a thing? It's eventually going to be in a grid with additional rows of 18'

Thanks for the info, I'm glad I asked. I just got text from the customer on the concrete type and this is what he had to say... "It's suspended slab with pretensiond cables embedded in the concrete. There are hollow tubes running through those slabs with the cables embedded in." I think I...

Hi, New here so I apologize if this question is in the wrong forum. I'm quoting on a job to cable a new data center. 78 drops in 19 cabinets in two rows. The room is 18'x75' and cabinets will be placed width wise. Up to 200 cables will be expanded at a later date for the remaining room. I...
