An estimate is only as good as the information it is based on, and the NECA Manual of Labor Units (MLU) has been the estimating resource of choice for electrical contractors since 1923. The MLU provides an experience-based reference for estimating the electrical construction labor required to install typical electrical and communications systems.
Updates to this edition provide new units for cable bus, conduit tags, all-threaded hanger rods, coaxial cable, traffic light camera controls and much more.
NECA’s labor units include: normal material handling; drawing study, measurement and layout; material installation; and normal non-productive labor.
The NECA labor unit tables include three different labor units for each item. Users of the MLU are also encouraged to consider labor units between the columns, or even lower than or exceeding the columns when appropriate.
Normal Installation ConditionsWhen all of the conditions associated with the installation of an item will permit the maximum productivity of the electricians on a project, these “normal” column labor units are applicable.
Difficult Installation Conditions
When one or more of the conditions associated with the installation of an item will permit less than maximum productivity of the electricians on a typical project, these “difficult” column labor units are applicable.
Very Difficult Installation Conditions
When one or more of the conditions associated with the installation of an item will permit substantially less than maximum productivity of the electricians on a typical project, these “very difficult” column labor units are applicable.
