*Every crew works differently, and every jobsite is different. The installation-time and cost figures on this page compare an A2P system with the conventional construction method shown, not with any specific manufacturer’s product. Unless noted otherwise, installation times are based on real-life time studies applied to a hypothetical building, and costs are A2P estimates calculated from those times. They are not results from a completed project. Your results will depend on crew size and experience, labor rates, material pricing, building design, site and weather conditions, and project requirements. Use project-specific information, not these figures, for bidding and scheduling.
