we are bidding a project that is a little out of our normal realm....looking for some real life time estimates (I can look in Means or NECA labor manual, but let's face it, it's 8pm on a Friday....)

we have to install lots of IMC...it's all 4' AFF or lower on a standing seam roof....it will be mounted on strut w/ strut straps...

sizes range from 1" to 4" IMC...amounts run from 2500' of 4" to 15000' of 3" to 200' of 1"....runs are 90% straight....material will be craned to roof and staged in multiple locations...rooftop is 750' long with a few offshoot roofs....

most runs are at least 400' straight...

just looking for some labor times....thanks

Look at the other types of conduit data you have and you can simply use those labor data to arrive at your cost. EMT would be comparable. Of course it depends on the complexity of the run and how many parallel runs you have. That would be a bigger variant than the type of material itself.

I think any book has to assume "usual" conditions for the material being installed. You describe conditions that appear more favorable than usual (parallel, large quantity, mostly straight, material being craned up). I would look at crew size and setup. If you have a two man crew, you're at 80 hours for a week. How many weeks?

I put your information in 3 different programs and came up with this.
2500' of 4'' = 475 hours
15,000 of 3''= 2000 hours
200' of 1'' = 10 hours

This does not include wire pulling.

That's close to where I'm at. So I gotta figure a year for the guy doing 3". :)

Let me look when I get back in the office and I will see what Conest comes up with. PM me if you want to ask anything else you want me to run through the program.

For those who are interested, here is what we went with...

200' - 1" IMC - 10 hrs
1700' - 1 1/2" IMC - 119 man hours
4700' - 2" IMC - 423 man hours
4500' - 2 1/2" IMC - 585 man hours
15000' - 3" IMC - 2100 man hours
5000' - 3 1/2" IMC - 750 man hours
2560' - 4" IMC - 410 man hours
700' - 5" GRC - 210 man hours

i also have additional time in for the elbows

this does not include wire...but it does include extra time for getting all the conduit on to a 40' roof and upto 400' from where the crane can drop it...
