I worked on a new hospital construction that lasted a year and a half and there were LOTS of locations there you could not lift the ceiling to reach the cable tray and the glow rod. Too many obstructions:

  • HVAC
  • Sprinkler systems
  • J-boxes
  • MC cable
  • Fire Devices
  • et cetera...

That is why I posted "visit the job site and lift a ceiling tile".

You ABSOLUTELY have to look at the space! This is not something you can give a price for over the phone as some cheap ass customers would want you to. NEVER give your base drop price to a customer who calls even if you preface the conversation by saying that you will have to see the job because they will hold you to it.
