CablePro started in 2002 to quickly bid horizontal communications cabling projects (voice-data-fiber). By determining the average cable run distance, the configuration and count of each faceplate coupled with installation manhours we are able to present a sophisticated bid showing material and labor quantity, material/labor costs, profit, gross margin and ROI.
