I am an electrical contractor from West Virginia. (I can hear the wise cracks comin' already... Yes, I have all my teeth, and I'm not married to my sister... **grin**) My dad and I are partners, we have been in business for about 2 years, and we have been working on the time and material type of billing system. However, we are getting to the point of needing to start bidding on some jobs, and are looking for advice. In particular, we are hoping to get a job wireing a funiral home, want to give a competitive bid to get the job, and yet, not lose our a**. It will be done in romex, 200 amp service, approx 100' wide, and about 60' feet deep. Is there a "so much per hole" rule that we could use that will make it a little easier, or some other tricks that can be used that might help us? What do you (the others) use, what has worked well, what hasn't? Any help or pointers would be of use, and much appreciated. Thanks ahead of time... ElectricWonder
