Your are 100% correct in your assesment.
And the customer wonders why we charge so much when we the worker only get $25.00/hr. All the rest must be going in your pocket.

Do you guys "the worker" have any idea how much it costs to keep you working and the business running?

Interesting. Lots of people in here have talked about how plumbers make more than electricians, but according to this site, the electrical contractors fair better.

Are you trying to say that plumbers show all that cleavage for nothing?
 
NECA Manual Labor of Units

NECA Manual Labor of Units

I am estimating a job which includes installing 3" rigid steel conduit in a 18" deep trench to be encased in concrete. Using NECA Manual of Labor Units, section 2 - Conduit, Raceways, Fittings & Related Items, "Rigid Steel Conduit with Threaded Couplings.

For 3" size, I used the 20.00 labor units per 100' (c).
Another estimator in my office indicated that this is wrong. He indicated that he researched RSMeans Costworks 2006 and found a line item for 3" rigid steel in trench that had a labor unit of .100 per LF - which is 10.00 labor units per 100'. Also he indicates that NECA MLU is refering to conduit install in a building up to 15' high and that's why it is 20 vs. 10.

Is this true or not?
