Per day, 3 days. I get the building manager as my helper, for all three days, cut him loose the third day if you finish up the second. 2 days work 1 day typing up a nice detailed report in spreadsheet form giving all the needed information set up per room, keeping all $$ signs off this set of paperwork. Print yourself a copy and mark the dickens out of it with $$. Take lots of pictures for yourself, while doing this take a picture of the room number before you go in and take pictures of that rooms devices that are in bad shape, not to mention messy places that will take more time when it comes to change out time. While walking by the e-lights check them for free and add them to the list at the end for their information, takes 3 seconds and can pick up more work with these little items like this that get buildings fines. Your there might as well do it.
Just how I would approach it though.
It's so cute that you think this will actually work. :rotflmao: I don't disagree with your methodology, but we've had to do this at my last job, and it's generally a nightmare. Absolutely count on it taking 3x whatever you might think is reasonable. And it will never be executed in an uninterrupted block of time. The man-hours may be the same, but the
duration of the task could be all over the place. There will be units where the occupant wants to be there and hey, they work during the day. There will be units you can't get into, three, four, and five times. You absolutely MUST NOT enter any premises without the CONSTANT attendance of a building rep. If they open a unit and say "I've got to just pop out for 20 minutes to take care of something" tell them "Good, we'll wait right here outside the unit until you return." And then there are the days you show up and management says they don't have anybody that day to go around with you. Now what do you do with the tech(s)?
Very carefully set up the terms of the inspection.
"Predicated on completion of not fewer than "X" inspections per day."
"Owner responsible for notifying tenants"
"Owner responsible for providing escort at all times"
"If escort is not available, full day's cost will be charged without 3 business day's notice"
There's a whole bunch more, I'm sure. Just think of every way it could go pear-shaped and add an exception or clarification to your quote.
But if you have to test them all and have to access tenant spaces, then you need to factor in all that time.
