Although I don't offer installation any more, I ran a small alarm company for
many years.  Here's how I did it.  Always quote by the piece.  Calculate price
from cost plus margin, then add a fixed amount for labor for each run.  On
exceptionally large structures or places that will be more difficult to wire,
add an extra margin on the labor.

This worked for me.  YMMV.
