I talked to my wife about the bathroom fan. She says the HVAC contractor sets and pipes in the fan. The electrician only wires it, hence the $20.

Do you mean snapping the fan motor in the can and putting the grill on? I will ask. I know that is one of the last things they do and the job super may have the trim parts so they don't get lost. This was mass building and everyone gets the same fan. I suspect Peter got Paul's parts, and on down the line. I am not sure what they are doing now but when my wife was closing 2 houses a week there was just a constant flow of parts. There was always a stack of disposals, fans, luminaires and other trim out stuff in the construction trailer.

I assume that is going to be part of the total trim out, not just going there to install a fan.
Tract builders do operate with pretty sharp pencils.

1.5 hours to install a 'basic' $10 bath exhaust fan in new work???
Old work with P/U of materials, I may buy 1.5 hrs.

Bear in mind you are not actually hanging and piping in the fan.

staging, mobilization,demobilization and cleanup. All these must be factored in on every task.Installation of the fan is included it the time for this task.
