I'm updating my pricing for 2020, and as part of that am reviewing my pricing for structured wiring. The way I price wiring is by "bundle". For example, a "WAP" bundle consists of two cat6 cables.

I arrive at my pricing by marking up the following costs:
a. cost of cable
b. cost to pull cable during roughin
c. cost to terminate/test/label
d. cost of termination hardware

I find all of these costs are easy to estimate except for b. (the pull labor), because you don't just pull one location at a time.

My current estimate is that pulling two cat6 cables from the rack to an end point in a 3-6K square foot new construction residential project takes on average approx 1/2 man-hour (i.e. two men working for 15 minutes.) This includes the time it takes to manage cable boxes, drill any necessary holes, do proper wire management, etc.

What do you estimate the average pull time should be for this task?
If it's not simple, it's not sufficiently advanced.
