labor unit manual

[benwieland]

does anyone know of a reliable labor unit manual. i have 2 and end up having to factor every unit due to some of the discrepencies. my propblem is i dont really have any historical data to compare it to for future work. i am now starting a tracking system where i track the time spent on certain parts of the job ie. conduit, wire,devices etc but the manuals i have are not really working very well.

None that I ever got my hands on are reliable. National Electrical Estimator is a decent starting point, but historical data is the only way to fly. There was a hijacked copy of another contractor's unit labor data on the web a few years ago, buy it went MIA some time back. Keep on keepin' track of yours...
