2013 National Electrical Estimator
Labor and Material Costs for Installation of All Common Electrical Work

By Edward J. Tyler, CPE, Mark Tyler

Estimating electrical work isn't easy. Prices vary from supplier to supplier, and productivity can be easily influenced by degree of difficulty and by following the stringent safety requirements of the 2011 National Electrical Code.

Here you'll find crew sizes as well as labor and material prices to install all common electrical work: conduit, wire boxes, fixtures, switches, connectors, outlets, loadcenters, panelboards, raceways, ducts, signal systems, and more.

Provides material costs, manhours per unit, and total installed cost for all electrical work in residential, commercial, and industrial construction. Includes a FREE CD-ROM with a stand-alone estimating estimating program that is flexible and easy-to-use. Quarterly updates are free and automatic all during 2013.

All purchased National Estimator software programs are guaranteed to run perfectly on your Windows 7, Vista and XP computer. Quarterly updates are free on the Web during all of 2013. Unlimited phone support is free from 8 AM to 5 PM (Pacific) M-F.

Mark Tyler has taken over for his father, Edward Tyler, the original author, now retired. Mark, a successful electrical estimator, brings to the job the experience of a career in electrical contracting; starting out as an electrician, then progressing to estimator, then Senior Estimator, and now Branch Manager for a large electrical contractor. Still working in the field, he stays current on trends, volatility in material costs, and new requirements that can add significantly to labor costs.
