Tech Install — crew & rounding

Crew size (people on site)

Use 2 people when the TV is >50", or when there is cable pull.

Round Install up to nearest day (8 h)

On-site duration rounds up to a full day, then multiplied by crew size.

Additional Install flat hours

Defaults: PM 25%, PE 20% (typical for small/medium AV jobs — adjust per project). Minimums (6 h each) keep small single-room jobs from under-billing PM/PE. Untoggle "Use % of Install" to draw Shop/PM/PE from the per-line hours instead.
