Phone lines is the same story. If I run a phone line it is a $50.00 charge the phone co. will charge more than that. So it is a billable item as far as Im concerned. Nothing is done for free in the contract world of work. If it cost you for the supplies then it cost the cx for the supplies to be installed in thier home.
If we would all stand together as installer and no not a union just stand up together. Then tell the ones that hold the contracts with the big co,s. That we wont work for free no more there isnt enough inhouse to do the work we do but nobody wants to stand up together anymore. Not only that but the older installers need to take and show the younger installers how to make money. How to price a job so that it payes them to install. There is money to be made in this industry. If you are willing to stand up and take it from the cx and make them pay you for the work you do for them. just my two cents worth.
