Got it. 10x was a guess. What would be the proper #x if just the upfront cost? I think the construction time is an indirect cost that depends upon the # of future reconfigurations, if any.
And yes, sprinkler heads is a huge unknown difficulty and cost, as is re-routing HVAC. I wouldn’t normally recommend any electrician to reconfigure data as you’d have to bring in your IT guy anyway to update/reconfigure your patch panel, etc. JEROME CHANG <> talk to us: (323) 330-9505 <> chat w/ us: <>http://www.BLANKSPACES.com/chat <https://lc.chat/now/7173741/> WEST: Santa Monica <> | <>1450 2nd St (@Broadway) CENTRAL: Mid-Wilshire | 5405 Wilshire Blvd (2 blocks west of La Brea) EAST: Downtown <> | <>529 S.
