Galv conduit

[GMES]

Hi Guys,
I'm looking for a few people to answer this to give me a wider guide.
A fellow spark as been tasked with supplying a per metre price for 20mm Galvanised conduit installed.
So labour, conduit, bends, couplers, saddles, no cable though.
Its a genuine one where a customer as asked him but he mainly deals with fire although he is originally a yeb spark.
So come on lads how much would you charge as a per metre cost. This isn't for any one specific job so you have to consider some jobs will be a breeze and some could be a pig of a job.
Ive discussed a price with him but I don't want to sway anyone's opinion.

3.75m per length......I think I'd be regarded as taking the pee at nearly 100 squid a length.....if we're talking big numbers, at least.
It all depends on the degree of difficulty, though.......straight run, 4 saddles and one length....churn plenty of those out per hour.
Machine install, 2 lengths, 2 boxes, a couple of bends (generally natural for me), couplings, bushes......at least four hours. A day, at least, including for adaptation, wiring and completion.
Regarding putting cable in before installing, never done that. Some sort of pre wired kit system, maybe.

I have never done anything but a trivial bit of such metalwork, but I wondered about the whole "cable installing at the time" business. I can see it might be easier in some cases, but one of conduit's main selling point that you can rewire later.

In which case the whole design should be such that you have enough access points in sane location that you can wire it after completion of the metal-bashing stage?

Also out of curiosity I wonder what/how the like of @Megawatt would price for this, given it is very common in the USA to use EMT?

£25.57 for 2021

See below prices for 2018, I have upped these with an ap of 4% each year.
I usually overestimate by ~8% on overall price, usually a bid price will come in at 15%-20% lower than my estimate, but with the variations etc during the build it usually settles 5-10% below my estimates.

Sorry, forgot to add the regional adjustment, but I don't know where you are quoting for so anywhere between 1.05 and 0.75 factor, but you will know your local factor I assume

Nicely done Julie.

Couple of questions, what protection class does this Galvanised conduit have to achieve?

Is flexible Galvanised conduit acceptable? (much cheaper)

Yeah... but isn't EMT alot thinner ? easier to work ?

I assume the question Re. Protection class isn't aimed at me.

Flexible conduit is a different table, if the pricing is for galv then that's what you fit!

We have this a lot, our tender request is for tray, they price on tray, try to fit basket!!

Big fallout with contractors when they try to deliver something other than their tender...

Questions where for the OP, as they have not given that information.

Sub-contractors trying it on with something other than the specification or quote is a fact of life on commercial installs, that's why PQS's were born or are they hatched. ?
