My work has been all resi NM to date and I'm starting to do some EMT work. I recognize the install learning curve is on me. My question is about pricing. I've seen info on this form and others quoting labor at 4-8 hours per 100ft of 3/4 EMT installed, pulling 3-10AWG stranded 2-6 hours per 100ft, with the range covering degree of difficulty, number of boxes, etc.

My next job is in the 50x60 garage of a barndo, 32ft center height. I'll be installing high bay lights and general use 20A receptacles around the perimeter. Are folks pricing generally per foot EMT, per foot wire pulling? and how much?
 
I'd really consider MC for the high bays. Hides very well at that height.

Too many variables giving a flat price per ft for EMT. Wall coverings or lack there of can change a job from 300 feet a day to 50 feet a day. Steel building with no inside wall, just wall purlins for the steel siding? You're cutting strut for every single box.
 
Of course you are right on the variables. steel building, no inside wall. Will be able to install to purlins and girts for the most part.
 
Until they tell you they need the boxes where there is no purling or girt. then you will be installing some to mount your boxes to.
Put in for some extra for time and materials, so that it's not coming out of the wrong pocket. Don't go by "the most part"
Talk to the customer and iron out the details, before you give a quote, or tell them that the purlings are the only box locations, for the price.
