Estimating outlets in CMU

[jackaustin]

I am currently quoting a job where the customer has requested they be installed in the block wall. My experience with this while working in the field has been it's very time consuming and lots of varying factors in Masonry cost calculator. Does anyone have a labor hour number that has worked fairly well for them? I don't want to price myself out of the job, but then again I don't want to take a bath. :?

"Winning" a bid based on lowest price is a losing strategy. There is always someone that will do it cheaper than you.

Not sure what you mean by "Outlets".

Have you ever installed them before? If so, what have you used in the past for a cost or why is it different this time?

If you have not installed them before, you could start by getting a material cost from your supplier.
For a labor cost, ask the guys or gals that would be installing them and cushion their labor rate.
Do they take 15 minutes to install or 4 hrs to install?
