We have been losing bids to competitors who are using mc cable for commercial projects.
We prefer to run emt, but often the specs will allow mc cable. We have a pretty good handle on our costs for emt installations and usually bid in the area of $42 to $47 per opening.
Going by estimates only we think that we can run mc cable for about $10/opening less. We have used mc before, but haven't used it to wire an entire building.
For those with experience estimating both wiring methods, does it seem resonable that if we can run emt for $45 per drop that we can do mc cable for $35???
thanks
