Thanks - that helps for sure…. I came up with 4 hours per dwelling on average 
from start to finish to have the service on the curb and ready to pull in …

Basically, in a situation where have permits, locates, engineering and 
everything in place - now guys go! :)  Then as orders come in, then 
“installation” happens and I figured 4 hours there as well doing one off 
installs

Really rough and as you know lots of factors but it doesn’t seem my estimate is 
far off 

Thanks,
Paul
