Estimator worksheet

Purchase unit
one 250 ft coil
Gross basis
250 linear ft of this exact cable per coil before routing, vertical travel, tails, slack, damaged ends, and waste
Quantity method
Measure reviewed circuit routes by wiring method and gauge, add declared vertical travel, tails, slack, and waste, divide by 250 ft, and round coils up while tracking verified remnants.
Cost method
Multiply purchase coils by the observed per-coil price. Keep boxes, devices, connectors, staples, protection, testing, labor, delivery, tax, and waste separate.

Scope checks before ordering

Do not merge unlike products

Before using a price

Circuit design, protection, conductor sizing, derating, installation environment, listing, code, and permitted substitutions require qualified project-specific review.

Specification sources

Use these first-party references to verify comparison fields before selecting a supplier product. They do not provide the local price, stock status, project design, or code approval.

Local price coverage

No ZIP price is published on this reference page. Record a current exact-product quote or authorized observation manually, including its source, serving market, date, package basis, availability, tax, delivery, account requirements, and validity. A future location page remains separate and evidence-gated.

Continue with adjacent purchase units without collapsing different grades, materials, sizes, listings, or packages into one generic cost.

Carry the quantity and price into an estimate

Manual cost boundary: Takeoff Field Tools does not fetch supplier prices automatically. Enter the current observed or quoted cost yourself and keep its source, date, quantity basis, and exclusions visible.
