I'm going to do a full install for an associate. I'm installing from the first ceiling tile lifted to the last pc turned on and everything in between. He want's 5 computers and one Server and supporting gear; switches, firewall...etc. Ten locations with 2 drops each. The customer will be buying every piece of hardware directly.
This will be a typical Windows install with Cisco gear. I'm going to charge $100 a drop for the Cabling. But...... for the labor to setup and configure the equipment?????
I work in the Detroit area. Can anyone tell me how many hours is a reasonable time for a network this size installed and configured complete - email and firewall. Or...Can someone recommend me to a newsgroup that addresses this topic?
