Estimated installation hours

How do you guys calculate installation hours? Is there a tool (i.e. list, spread sheet) available on the market?

I think most of the supervisor's calculate by guessing... because if they really had to work they would give much more time.

Work backwards. See what it takes to get the job then figure how much time the guys have to install it and make the numbers work...then cut that time by 15%...

Not in reality, but it feels like it sometimes.
