Dermatology office bid
Can anyone give me an idea of how to price labor on a 2,200 sq.ft 400 amp single phase dermatology office. I have never done one with my own business. It is basic exam rooms,office area, 2 bathrooms, one ac system, and only a couple outdoor wall packs. Has anyone done something similar lately. Figured I throw out a high price to cover me and see if I get it.

Keep in mind that Article 517 may apply to that job as well.
The number of guys you are going to put on the job as well.

If you "throw" a high price at it you will not get it.
Plus, if you do, how will you know you will make money. You have no basis.
What you have to do, is do a detailed take off, and build an estimate from that.
Figure out what material you will use to build the job. Each piece of material has a material cost and a labor component.
Add all this up for a total of material and labor hours.
Factor if necessary.
Multiply your take off hours times your hourly rate.
Figure out job costs, permitting, saw cut, lifts, truck, deliveries, etc.
Add overhead
Add profit
So you should have something like this on a summary sheet: (not real numbers - just an example)
Material 10,000
Material tax 1,000
Labor 35,000
DJC 1,200
OH 7,000
P 7,500
Total $61,700

you can check rsmeans website and get a national average cost per sq ft for that particular type of commercial building if you want a high price, sounds like you need to hire an estimator my man.
