There are units costs associated with installing RMC.

With any estimate, various factors must be taken into account:
- temperature; optimum install temps range from 50? to 80? - out of that range costs are increased
- height; most installs over 12' call for an increase
- terrain; if the are isn't clear, level and worthy of supporting man, machine and material costs go up
- length and number of runs; short 1 conduit runs tend to cost more than multiple long runs per linear foot
- etc.

A mid-level estimating program will allow these, and other variables, to be incorporated into the estimate.
