Cable installation pricing

[agatep1]

Question: If you were to install individual LAN, phone and coax cable into a single gang box from a wiring closet, would you charge as a single line installation or as three different lines?

Thanks!

well I would figure the cable cost ,termanation cost +labor+markup

I wouldnt charge 3x the cost of a single pull if thats what your asking .

125 per drop

I would add an hour of labor and charge for 1 pull. This will let you make a little more for your efforts and save your custumer money.

To answer your question as asked then:

Three different cable types.
Three different termination types.
Three different costs.

I had a customer tell me that I was way high on my estimate, so I just wanted to check with the experts.
