Small office, 12 drops w/4 cables at each drop (one drop has 6) = 50
terminations. False ceiling, no masonry walls. Longest distance from wiring
closet: 45 ft.

Above ceiling: dusty, dirty, filthy. Thick clouds of dust ever time a piece
of insulation is touched. Certainly a respirator job...

DId I mention dirty?

What would you charge for this job?

$4500 to $7500 if it's certified.

"Certified", as in "we've tweaked the drivers and it's now transferring xx
Mbits/sec"?

Thanks,

Hardly, see http://www.vdvworks.com/UncleTed/test.html for a description.
Our Fluke DTX-1800 with fiber modules was about $15k.
It's important to have your drops certified if you want to know for a fact
that no matter what type of equipment you plug in will work to the designed
speed. Cables kinked or inproperly terminated can cause your entire network
to work at a much slower speed than designed.
