Tech Install — crew & rounding
Use 2+ when a display is >50" or there is a cable pull. Labor bills the same for 2 or more technicians.
On-site duration rounds up to a full day, then multiplied by crew size.
e.g. site prep, training, commissioning
Shop / PM / PE
Room-count scaling (PM & PE, summed mode only)
Decay factor = max(0.10, 1 / (qty − 1)^0.7), qty ≤ 2 unaffected. Only applies in "summed" mode.
CAD / Drawings
Enables the CAD / Drawings table above. Uncheck to exclude page-based drawings.
Applied on top of all CAD hours for anticipated revisions.
Defaults: PM 25%, PE 20% of install. Minimums: Shop 4 h, PM 6 h, PE 6 h, CAD 8 h. Untoggle "Use % of Install" to sum Shop/PM/PE from per-line hours instead.
Labor Estimator — How it works
All data and settings are saved in your browser automatically. Reloading restores your last session. Use Reset to start fresh.
An equipment row's hours = qty/room × hours/ea × (sum of selected rooms' qty). A row with qty=2, install=6 h, assigned to Medium Conf (×3) and Boardroom (×1) contributes 2 × 6 × (3+1) = 48 install hours.
Global / Shared gear isn't multiplied by any room — use it for headend gear, network switches, project-wide cable runs.
ceil(raw / crew / 8) × 8 × crew. A 2-person crew with <8 h work still bills 16 h.CAD hours come from two sources: the per-line CAD columns in Equipment and Rooms tables, plus the page-based CAD section (pages × hrs/page × complexity multiplier). A revision % is added on top of the combined total. Minimum applies only if any CAD hours exist.

Import — choose sections
Select which sections to import. Each checked section will replace what's currently on screen.
Assign to rooms
Pick the rooms this equipment lives in. Hours scale by the sum of selected rooms' quantities. Pick none for a "Global / Shared" item.
