Persons experienced in steel conduit

[TJC1]

Good afternoon one and all

Does anyone in the Dorset area have good experience with steel conduit? If so please could
I pick your brains on a few things?

What is it you want to know.

What is it you want to know.

I have a car park coming up and haven’t really had much involved with steel conduit before. I just wanted to find out timing on installs?

It’s all straight runs

I've got a book, albeit rather aged, on time norms for pricing if you'd like me to dig that out ?

It's a very laborious way of working things out, but this might give you a rough idea of where you need to be. Try roughing it out with this method after first having an estimate at times and see how they tally up.

Not much has changed in the installation of steel conduit since the publishing date of 1978 so it should still be relevant.

Dependant on complexity it takes 50-75% more time than plastic conduit in my experience. So whereas it make take me two days to put in a plastic conduit around 20m x 10m warehouse including pillars and connection complete with testing it could take 3 to 4 days in galv.

It can't all be straight runs otherwise all the lights will be in a single row in front of the DB!

Conduit Graveyards ???

Allow extra time in your price mate. Or sub the car park, put it to someone more suited for it.
I used to love doing Car parks best bit about doing the residential tripe.

In my experience price for if you were using plastic pipe and then double the quote...

I’m impressed Andy when I was working in the office we used something very similar to quote jobs but that being from 1978 the labor is still basically the same. You don’t throw nothing away. Congratulations

It's actually my dad's old book that he taught me to price larger jobs from. Doesn't get much practical use these days but it's still being kept.
