Cost Estimate — CableTrayRoute

Method & Pricing Basis

Material costs are estimated from unit prices ($/ft for cable, tray, conduit) multiplied by quantities from the project schedules. Cable lengths come from routing results if available, otherwise from the cable schedule.

Labor costs use standard productivity rates (RS Means Electrical Cost Data basis):

Cable pull: 150 ft/hr → $75/hr = $0.50/ft installed
Tray installation: 30 ft/hr → $90/hr = $3.00/ft installed
Conduit installation: 25 ft/hr → $85/hr = $3.40/ft installed

Default unit prices reflect mid-range contractor pricing (2024 USD). Adjust prices in the Price Overrides section for your specific project conditions.

This estimate does not include: engineering fees, permits, switchgear, transformers, or conduit fittings beyond a default unit cost per fitting.
