When we price out a system I agree that the job costs a certain amount listed by line item. At least that is the way we do it. I was just curious from being an electrical contractor as oppossed to an A/V contractor if our pricing was similar. I do know that as an electrical contractor you all get much better pricing on Cat5e and RG6 Quad because you all do that in most homes instead of having a dedicated low voltage contractor. At least that is what I have run into. Don't know if that helps clarify my question.
