rather than give a smart ass answer, which you will get for sure...determine all your material costs and figure out your labor cost per device...if you aren't sure,go buy a copy of Means estimating and learn how to read it...

giving you a price is useless, you need to determine your material cost and your labor time...then you can multiply by your labor rate and add your OH and Profit...

Actually, that was the most legitimate answer I could give with the information provided. You can pull off hangar wiring with little or none of it being in a classified zone, depending on how the aircraft are going to be parked.

means of estimating? book or cd?

My answer was just a few mouse clicks though my own spreadsheet. I based it on normal EMT wiring in a warehouse, since a 60x60 hangar should be able to be wired like a warehouse, unless they're going to park the aircraft stupid and put some of the wiring in a classified zone.

Agreed, and it is up to you to stay at the hanger at all times and make sure they park the planes properly.. Get out the orange wands, orange vest and ear muffs.

No, they paint lines and markings all over the floor in these places for that purpose. The parking pattern is pretty well set.
