OK guys,
I've seen this mentioned several times about detailed take offs. When we do commercial bids we count openings for lights and general use receptacles. When you do a detailed take off for general use ckts. do you estimate conduit and wire by the foot, plus openings???

Our current project has approximately 8,000 openings. It took two men two days just to count the openings........I can't imagine the time it would take to try and detail this stuff.

We do detail out special equipment, ckts., HVAC, feeders, etc.

Just curious,
GJ
