I was the foreman when we rewired Lenox Hill Hospital here in NYC. New CO, battery plant, key equipment, risers, station wiring, sets. About 3,000 stations. A square city block plus in Manhattan.
The job was bid for all plenum wiring. When I looked over the complex I found there was one room that required plenum wiring.
The savings were huge. On a smaller job they would have been comparatively smaller and if you're a small shop I can see where it might not pay to store two types of cable. But certainly look if you've got a big cable job.
