Hi everyone, I know this is a bit off topic, but I don't know a good group
to ask this in.
I've done PC repair work as a side business on the weekends for years now
and recently I have a customer that wants me to install a network in a
small dentist office. It is a new building and I will be installing 10
computers. There will be a computer at all 6 dental chairs one at the
x-ray machine and 3 in the receptionist area. The office is not large,
about 50 feet by 30 feet and the conduit and boxes are installed for the
cable. I just have to pull the conduit and tack it up above the dropped
ceiling and of course add connectors to the ends.
My question is how much should I charge for pulling and installing cat 5
cable in this situation. I have been given all sorts of suggestions from
$20/ft to $75 per cable drop. $20 per foot seems outrageous to me, but
that's why I'm asking.
**I've never heard anything as bizarre as charging per Metre of cable
installed. I charge my time out per hour, plus travelling time, plus
materials. If it is a particularly unpleasant job (like crawling in confined
spaces), I find a younger, more 'hungry' assistant to help. Or I just quote
a little higher.
