Labor and Material Estimates
Anyone can answer this? Wastage percentage applied in estimating concrete?
Anu din yung labor cost percentge sa estimates?
padayon architects 70% to 30% but sabi ni arch JV ay 60 to 40
Sa estimate sa firm namin, half ng total materials ay cost ng labor so
Material cost x 1.5labor = total cost. Kasama na miscellaneous sa material cost
pero mag-aadd pa ng contingency sa pagtotal ng projected cost.
Pero trick ng boss ko, ididivide ang contingency every material, so say
masonry, metalworks, ceiling, doors&windows, etc may increase na sa
contingency kaya kahit di babayarin ni client (w/c most of the time
mangyayari) ang contingency ay parang nabayaran pa rin nya haha
