Section 17

COMMUNICATION
AND SIGNAL
SYSTEMS
This section includes manhour time frames for the installation of wire, cable, and various communication and signaling devices.
The manhours listed are for labor only. No consideration
has been given to the value of materials.
Labor for checking out of project storage, handling, job
hauling, and installing have been given consideration in the
manhour tables for the operations as listed in accordance
with the notes appearing with the tables.
These manhour units are average of many projects and
should be evaluated and adjusted by the estimater for use
on an individual project as outlined in the Introduction of
this manual.
