For those who have responded to the recent estimating threads, requested my spreadsheet, and offered your kind words of thanks, I would like to say, humbly, "You are all very welcome". It is my pleasure, as a member of this board, to help in the promotion of the electrical industry, in any way that I can.
To all that have the spreadsheet, you'll notice that on the "Summary Page", I have a place to put "Quoted Material" in twice. I did this because many times on very large ticket items, I don't put a full "mark up" on them. You'll find this useful when you are "really" trying to land a job.
In the sample estimate that I sent, you'll notice that I "plugged" numbers into the "fixture", and "gear" price/labor sheets for fixture and gear pricing. On most projects that I bid these items are normally left blank, or I will put small amounts of money into the pricing space to cover misc. materials associated with that item. Most of our fixture/gear packages are "quoted" to us in a "lot price".
Again to:

Estimatologically Yours,
Doc
