A bill of materials can include every major device and still leave installers waiting at the site gate.
Short answer
Order sleeves, cleaning materials, labels, ties, patch cords and spare connectors with the main hardware. Each item is cheap, and each can stop a crew.
Pack the small items by work area rather than sending one mixed carton. Keep a controlled spare quantity for damaged connectors and late changes.
Have the installer confirm the consumable list before the vehicle leaves. One idle crew day costs more than the full box.
A common rule is five percent of the planned terminations, rounded up, which covers ordinary breakage without turning into dead stock on a small job.
They can sit on the same quotation. What matters is that they are itemised and checked off before dispatch, not folded into a vague allowance.
