How to Use This Book

This 2020 National Plumbing & HVAC Estimator is a guide to estimating labor and material costs for
plumbing, heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems in residential, commercial and industrial
buildings.

Inside the back cover of this book you'll find a software download certificate. To access the download,
follow the instructions printed there. The download includes an easy to-use estimating program with all
the cost estimates in this book. The software will run on PCs using Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, or 10
operating systems.

When the National Estimator program has been installed, click Help on the menu bar to see a list of
topics that will get you up and running. Or, go online to www.craftsman-book.com and click on Support,
then Tutorials, to view an interactive tutorial for National Estimator.

Costs in This Manual will apply within a few percent on a wide variety of projects. Using the information
given on the pages that follow will explain how to use these costs and suggest procedures to follow
when compiling estimates. Reading the remainder of this section will help you produce more reliable
estimates for plumbing and HVAC work.

Manhour Estimates in This Book will be accurate for some jobs and inaccurate for others. No
manhour estimate fits all jobs because every construction project is unique. Expect installation times to
vary widely from job to job, from crew to crew, and even for the same crew from day to day.

There's no way to eliminate all errors when making manhour estimates. But you can minimize the risk
of a major error by:
1. Understanding what's included in the manhour estimates in this book, and
2. Adjusting the manhour estimates in this book for unusual job conditions.

The Craft@Hrs Column. Manhour estimates in this book are listed in the column headed Craft@Hrs.
For example, on page 15 you'll see an estimate for installing a 6 gallon hot water heater. In the
Craft@Hrs column opposite 6 gallon you'll see:
P1@.500

To the left of the @ symbol you see an abbreviation for the recommended work crew.

Page 7 shows the wage rates and craft codes used in this book.

To the right of the @ symbol you see a number. This number is the estimated manhours (not crew
hours) required to install each unit of material listed. In the case of 6 gallon hot water heater, P1@.500
means that .500 manhours are required to install 1 hot water heater.

Costs in the Labor $ Column are based on manhour estimates in the Craft@Hrs column. Multiply the
manhour estimate by the assumed hourly labor cost to find the installation cost in the Labor $ column.
For example, .500 manhours times $36.70 (the average wage for crew P1) is $18.35.

Quarterly price updates on the Web are free and automatic all during 2020. You'll be prompted
when it's time to collect the next update. A connection to the Web is required.

Manhour Estimates Include all productive labor normally associated with installing the materials
described. These estimates assume normal conditions: experienced craftsmen working on reasonably
well planned and managed new construction with fair to good productivity. Labor estimates also assume
that materials are standard grade, appropriate tools are on hand, work done by other crafts is adequate,
layout and installation are relatively uncomplicated, and working conditions don't slow progress.
2020 National Plumbing & HVAC Estimator, All Rights Reserved Page 5 (part 2)

All manhour estimates include tasks such as:


• Unloading and storing construction materials, tools and equipment on site.
• Working no more than two floors above or below ground level.
• Working no more than 10 feet above an uncluttered floor.
• Normal time lost due to work breaks.
• Moving tools and equipment from a storage area or truck not more than 200 feet from the work
area.
• Returning tools and equipment to the storage area or truck at the end of the day.
• Planning and discussing the work to be performed.
• Normal handling, measuring, cutting and fitting.
• Regular cleanup of construction debris.
• Infrequent correction or repairs required because of faulty installation.
2020 National Plumbing & HVAC Estimator, All Rights Reserved Page 6

If the work you're estimating won't be done under these conditions, you need to apply a correction factor
to adjust the manhour estimates in this book to fit your job.

Applying Correction Factors. Analyze your job carefully to determine whether a labor correction factor
is needed. Failure to consider job conditions is probably the most common reason for inaccurate
estimates.

Use one or more of the recommended correction factors in Table 1 to adjust for unusual job conditions.
To make the adjustment, multiply the manhour estimate by the appropriate conversion factor. On some
jobs, several correction factors may be needed. A correction factor less than 1.00 means that favorable
working conditions will reduce the manhours required.

Supervision Expense to the installing contractor is not included in the labor cost. The cost of
supervision and non-productive labor varies widely from job to job. Calculate the cost of supervision and
non-productive labor and add this to the estimate.

Hourly Labor Costs also vary from job to job. This book assumes an average manhour labor cost of
$43.25 for plumbers and $41.94 for sheet metal workers. If these hourly labor costs are not accurate for
your jobs, adjust the labor costs up or down by an appropriate percentage. Instructions on the next
page explain how to make these adjustments. If you're using the National Estimator disk, it's easy to
set your own wage rates.

Hourly labor costs in this book include the basic wage, fringe benefits, the employer's contribution to
welfare, pension, vacation and apprentice funds, and all tax and insurance charges based on wages.
Table 2 at the top of the next page shows how hourly labor costs in this book were calculated. It's
important that you understand what's included in the figures in each of the six columns in Table 2.
Here's an explanation:

Column 1, the base wage per hour, is the craftsman's hourly wage. These figures are representative of
what many contractors are paying plumbers, sheet metal workers and helpers in 2020.

Column 2, taxable fringe benefits, includes vacation pay, sick leave and other taxable benefits. These
fringe benefits average about 5.53% of these base wage for many plumbing and HVAC contractors. This
benefit is in addition to the base wage.

Table 1 Recommended Correction Factors

Column 3, insurance and employer-paid taxes in percent, shows the insurance and tax rate for the craft
workers. The cost of insurance in this column includes workers' compensation and contractor's casualty
and liability coverage. Insurance rates vary widely from state to state and depend on a contractor's loss
experience. Note that taxes and insurance increase the hourly labor cost by approximately 30%. There
is no legal way to avoid these costs.

Column 4, insurance and employer taxes in dollars, shows the hourly cost of taxes and insurance.
Insurance and taxes are paid on the costs in both columns 1 and 2.

Column 5, non-taxable fringe benefits, includes employer paid non-taxable benefits such as medical
coverage and tax-deferred pension and profit sharing plans. These fringe benefits average 4.88% of the
base wage for many plumbing and HVAC contractors. The employer pays no taxes or insurance on
these benefits.

Table 2 Labor Costs Used in This Book

Column 6, the total hourly cost in dollars, is the sum of columns 1, 2, 4, and 5. The labor costs in
Column 6 were used to compute costs in the Labor $ column of this book.

Adjusting Costs in the Labor $ Column. The hourly labor costs used in this book may apply within a
few percent on many of your jobs. But wage rates may be much higher or lower in some areas. If the
hourly costs shown in Column 6 of Table 2 are not accurate for your work, adjust labor costs to fit your
jobs.

For example, suppose your hourly labor costs are as follows:

Plumber $19.00
Laborer $16.00
Total hourly crew cost $35.00

Your average cost per manhour would be $17.50 ($35.00 per crew hour divided by 2 because this is a
crew of two).

A labor cost of $17.50 is about 48% of the $36.70 labor cost used for crew P1. Multiply costs in the
Labor $ column by .477 to find your estimated cost.

For example, notice on page 19 that the labor cost for installing a 6 gallon hot water heater is $18.35
each. If installed by your plumbing crew working at an average cost of $17.50 per manhour, your
estimated cost would be 48% of $18.35 or $8.75 per heater.
2020 National Plumbing & HVAC Estimator, All Rights Reserved Page 7 (part 2)

Adjusting the labor costs in this book will make your estimates much more accurate. Making
adjustments to labor costs is both quick and easy if you use the National Estimator disk.

Equipment Cost will vary according to need and application. It is typically is $31.00 per day for a 2-ton
chain hoist.

Material Costs in this manual are intended to reflect what medium- to low-volume contractors will be
paying in 2020 after applying normal discounts. These costs include charges for delivery to within 25 to
30 miles of the supplier.

Overhead and Profit for the installing contractor are not included in the costs in this manual unless
specifically identified in the text. Markup can vary widely with local economic conditions, competition
and the installing contractor's operating expenses. Add the markup that's appropriate for your company,
the job and the competitive environment.
2020 National Plumbing & HVAC Estimator, All Rights Reserved Page 8

How Accurate Are These Figures? As accurate as possible considering that the editors don't know
your material suppliers, haven't seen the plans or specifications, don't know what building code applies
or where the job is, had to project material costs at least six months into the future, and had no record
of how much work the crew that will be assigned to the job can handle.

You wouldn't bid a job under those conditions. And I don't claim that all plumbing and HVAC work is
done at these prices.

Estimating Is an Art, not a science. There is no one price that applies on all jobs. On many jobs the
range between high and low bid will be 10% or more. There's room for legitimate disagreement on what
the correct costs are, even when complete plans and specifications are available, the date and site are
established, and labor and material costs are identical for all bidders.

No estimate fits all jobs. Good estimates are custom made for a particular project and a single
contractor through judgment, analysis and experience. This book is not intended as a substitute for
judgment, analysis and sound estimating practice. It's an aid in developing an informed opinion of cost,
not an answer book.

Additional Costs to Consider


Here's a checklist of additional costs to consider before submitting any bid.

1. Sales taxes
2. Mobilization costs
3. Payment and performance bond costs
4. Permits and fees
5. Storage container rental costs
6. Utility costs
7. Tool costs
8. Callback costs during warranty period
9. Demobilization costs

Exclusions and Clarifications


Neither the job specifications nor the contract may identify exactly what work should be included in the
plumbing and HVAC bid. Obviously, you have to identify what work is included in the job.

The most efficient way to define the scope of the work is to prepare a list of tasks not normally
performed by your company and attach that list to each bid submitted. Here's a good list of work that
should be excluded from your bid.

Your Bid Should Exclude

Final cleaning of plumbing fixtures


Backings for plumbing fixtures
Toilet room accessories
Electrical work, including motor starters
Electrical wiring and conduit over 100 volts
Temporary utilities
Painting, priming and surface preparation
Structural cutting, patching or repairing
Fire protection and landscape sprinklers
Equipment supports
Surveying and layout of control lines
Removal or stockpiling of excess soil
2020 National Plumbing & HVAC Estimator, All Rights Reserved Page 8 (part 2)

Concrete work, including forming and rebar


Setting of equipment furnished by others
Equipment, unless shown, and personnel hoisting
Wall and floor blockouts
Pitch pockets
The costs of performance or payment bonds
Site utilities
Asbestos removal or disposal
Contaminated soil removal or disposal
Major increases in copper material prices
Fire dampers not shown on the plans

Your Bid Should Include

Trash sweep-up only. Others haul it away.


Site utilities from building to property line only.
Piping to 5 feet outside the building only.
Plumbing & HVAC permits for your work only.

Beware of Price Changes


There's no way to be sure what prices will be in three to six months. All labor, equipment, material and
subcontract prices in a bid should be based on costs anticipated when the project is expected to be
built, not when the estimate is compiled. That presents a problem. Except for the installation of
underground utilities, most plumbing and HVAC work is done six months to a year after the bid is
submitted. When possible, get price protection in writing from your suppliers and subcontractors. If your
suppliers and subs won't guarantee prices, include an escalation allowance in your bid to cover
anticipated price increases.
2020 National Plumbing & HVAC Estimator, All Rights Reserved Page 9

Material Pricing Conditions


All equipment and material prices quoted by your vendors will be conditional. They usually don't include
sales tax and are subject to specific payment and shipping terms. Every estimator should understand
the meaning of common shipping terms. They define who pays the freight and who has responsibility for
processing freight-damage claims. Here's a summary of important conditions you should understand.

F.O.B. Factory (Free On Board at the Factory): Title passes to the buyer when the goods are delivered
by the seller to the freight carrier. The buyer pays the freight and is responsible for freight-damage
claims.

F.O.B. Factory F.F.A. (Free On Board at the Factory, Full Freight Allowed): The title passes to the
buyer when the goods are delivered by the seller to the freight carrier. The seller pays the freight
charges, but the buyer is responsible for freight-damage claims.

F.O.B. (city of destination) (Free On Board to your city): The title passes to the buyer when the goods
are delivered by the seller to the freight terminal in the city, or nearest city, of destination. The seller
pays the freight and is responsible for freight-damage claims to the terminal. The buyer pays the freight
charge and is responsible for freight-damage claims from the terminal to the final destination.

F.O.B. Job Site (Free On Board at job site, or contractor's shop): The title passes to the buyer when
the goods are delivered to the job site (or shop). The seller pays the freight and is responsible for
freight-damage claims.

F.A.S. Port [of a specific city] (Free Alongside Ship at the nearest port): The title passes to the buyer
when goods are delivered to the ship dock or port terminal. The seller pays the freight and is responsible
for freight-damage claims to the ship dock or port terminal only. The buyer pays the freight and is
responsible for freight-damage claims from the ship dock or port terminal to the designated delivery
point.

Obviously, it's to your advantage to instruct all vendors to quote costs F.O.B. the job site or your shop.

Reducing Costs
Most construction specifications allow the use of alternative equipment and materials. It's the
estimator's responsibility to select the most cost-effective products. Research and compare your costs
before making any decisions. Avoid selecting any material or equipment simply because that's what
you've always done.

Don't recommend plastic products such as ABS, PVC, or polypropylene pipe or corrugated flexible
ducts until you've checked local code requirements. Most building codes prohibit use of these materials
inside public buildings such as schools, care centers and hospitals.

It's wise to select 100% factory-packaged equipment. Beware of equipment labeled "Some assembly
required." Field labor costs for mounting loose coils, motors and similar equipment are very high.

Value Engineering
Let's suppose you've submitted a combined plumbing and HVAC bid for $233,000. Your cutthroat
competitor put in a bid at $4,000 less, $229,000. Obviously there's no way you're going to get the job.
Right?

Not so fast! Maybe value engineering can help you win that contract -- while fattening your profit margin.

Suppose the proposal you submitted had two parts. Part I is the bid for $233,000, based entirely on job
plans and specs, just the way they were written. But appended to your proposal is Part II, a list of
suggestions for saving money without sacrificing any of the capacity or quality designed into the
system. Here's an example of what might be in Part II:
2020 National Plumbing & HVAC Estimator, All Rights Reserved Page 9 (part 2)

1. Deduct for providing pipe hanger spacings per UPC in lieu of


specified spacings: $1,750.00

2. Deduct for reducing heating hot water pipe sizes by using 40 degrees F Delta T in lieu of
specified 20 degrees F Delta T: $4,600.00
2020 National Plumbing & HVAC Estimator, All Rights Reserved Page 10

3. Deduct for providing pressure/temperature taps at air handling units, pumps and chillers in lieu of
specified thermometers and pressure gauges: $875.00

4. Deduct for eliminating water treatment in closed piping systems: $1,800.00

5. Deduct for piping chilled and heating hot water pumps in parallel in lieu of providing 100%
standby pumps: $2,900.00

Total deductions: $11,925.00

Adopting these suggestions would make you low bidder by nearly $8,000. A saving like that will be
tempting to most owners, especially if the owner understands that your suggestions result in a system
that is every bit as good and maybe better than the system as originally designed.

You're not offering to undercut the competition. Far from it. You're using knowledge and experience to
create better value for the owner. That's called value engineering and it's likely to win the respect of
nearly all cost-conscious owners.

Notice that reducing costs is only part of what value engineering is all about. You don't cut costs at the
expense of system quality, integrity, capacity or performance.

Don't waste your time, and your client's, by offering to substitute cheaper or lower-quality fixtures or
equipment. Any cutthroat contractor with a price list can do that. Recommend the use of inferior
materials and you'll be associated with the inferior goods you promote. Some owners consider even the
suggestion to be insulting.

The recommendations you make (like most of those in the example) will require design changes. You
can expect to be examined (or even challenged) on these points. Be ready to explain and defend each
of your suggestions. Convince the client (or the design engineer) that your ideas are based on sound
engineering principles and you're well on the way to winning the owner's confidence and the contract.

Now, let's go back to the list and see how we might justify the five value engineering recommendations.

1. Pipe Hanger Spacing. The pipe hanger spacings recommended in the Uniform Plumbing Code
(UPC) are calculated by experienced, professional structural engineers. The safety factors used in these
calculations are very conservative. They've been widely used for many years and have proved to be more
than adequate. There's no need for more hangers than the UPC requires.

2. Changing HHW Delta T. In hydronic heating systems, heat measured in Btus is pumped to terminal
units. The proposed change of the Delta T, from 20 degrees F to 40 degrees F, has no effect whatsoever
on how many Btus the system delivers. You're not changing anything but the volume of water being
pumped. At lower volume levels, the size of the pump, the pipe and the pipe insulation can all be
reduced. Not one of these changes will affect the system's ability to transmit heat. Furthermore,
operating costs will also drop, since less pump horsepower will be needed to run the smaller pump.

3. Thermometers/Pressure Gauges. Thermometers and pressure gauges installed on or near vibrating


machinery have a very short life expectancy. Gauges quickly lose accuracy under harsh conditions.
Readings will become less and less reliable. That's potentially dangerous. You can avoid this problem
by using insertion-type pressure/temperature taps instead. Store these sensitive gauges in a desk
drawer or a tool crib when not in use. Safely stored, they're protected from damage. They'll give accurate
readings longer and won't need to be replaced as often. And they're simple to use. Just insert a gauge
in one of the conveniently located taps. Make the reading, then remove the gauge and put it away.

4. Water Treatment. ITT Bell & Gossett has done studies on corrosion in closed hydronic systems
that have a makeup water rate of no more than 5% per year. These studies show that corrosion virtually
stops when entrained air is either removed or depleted. No water treatment is needed in this closed
system.

5. 100% Standby Pumps. Two pumps piped and operated in parallel are more economical. Even if one
pump fails, the other pump can maintain delivery at 75 to 80% of the designed flow rate. That's usually
adequate for emergency operation.

These cost-saving ideas are small, but could tip the balance in your favor. I hope they demonstrate the
potential that value engineering has when bidding jobs. Any time you're compiling an estimate, keep an
eye out for ways to save money or reduce the owner's cost. Jot a note to yourself about each potential
saving you identify. Before submitting the bid, make a list of your alternate suggestions. Maybe best of
all, markup on your value engineering suggestions can be higher than your normal markup. If value
engineering can cut costs by $10,000, maybe as much as $4,000 of that should end up in your pocket!

Value Engineering: Surplus Materials


Value engineering doesn’t begin and end with job plans and specs. Value engineering means getting the
most value at the least cost, no matter whether it’s value to the owner or value to the contractor. Smart
mechanical contractors learn to build extra value into their jobs by controlling shrinkage of materials.
Nearly every significant plumbing and HVAC job ends with at least some surplus material on hand.
Material left over when the job is done tends to be discarded as waste or hauled off the job in the back
of a truck that doesn’t have your company name on the door. And why not? It’s surplus – not needed.
The owner didn’t need it. So now it’s up for grabs.

Not quite. Let’s consider who actually owns that surplus material. When your company has been paid,
every piece of material your crew installed belongs to the building owner. But what about those fittings,
hangers and valves delivered to the job site but never actually used? Almost certainly, those materials
were included in your bid. So aren’t they the property of the owner? Not in my opinion. The owner
contracted for a mechanical system and (presumably) has one. Unless it’s a cost-plus job or a
labor-only job, the owner didn’t buy materials delivered to the job site. The owner bought a mechanical
system and has one – completely separate and apart from any surplus materials. In my mind, the
property owner has no more claim to left-over materials than the same owner would have claim to labor
hours not expended or equipment not used on the same job.

Unless there’s some provision in your contract to the contrary, surplus material belongs to the installing
contractor. But your right to that material and the chance of actually getting it back to your shop are two
very different propositions. I see recovery of surplus material as a training issue. As a matter of
company policy, make it clear to your crews that surplus material belongs to your company. The
supervisor on every job should be accountable for recovery of excess material. Every significant job will
have at least some surplus. Accounting for that surplus should be part of your routine close-out
procedure. Fortunately, it’s not difficult. I’ll explain.

Control of surplus materials begins with a good checklist, or form. I recommend the Materials,
Equipment and Tool form, “MET” for short. A blank MET form appears following this section. Your MET
should show both what’s delivered to the job site (material, equipment and tools) and surplus “drops”
returned to your shop at project close-out. A MET ensures that the estimator, the shop inventory
manager and your field supervisor are on the same page. Your MET establishes accountability. Nothing
falls through the cracks. Job input equals job output plus returns. Everything delivered to the job and not
expended should be returned to your shop.

Here’s how it works:

1. Based on the estimate that won you the job, the items needed are purchased for the job and staged
for delivery to the job site.

2. As materials, equipment and tools are delivered to the job site, your supervisor completes the first
three columns of the MET form: Description, Quantity and Date.

3. As work is completed, the same supervisor completes the four columns under Returned to Inventory:
Quantity Returned, Date, Status Code and Value. The status code will be either “RS” (Returned and
Salvaged) or “RN” (Returned New).

4. Back at your shop, both RS and RN materials should be restored to inventory.

5. If your company has an inventory manager, have that manager assign the return value to each item
returned. If you’re using QuickBooks Pro, the “Adjust Inventory” feature can handle this task quite
easily. Add two new categories under “Inventory Stock on Hand by Vendor.” The first new category is
Returned Salvage. The second is Returned New. Be sure the value of RS materials includes the cost of
any reconditioning done to restore salvaged materials (such as pumps and boilers) to serviceable
condition.
2020 National Plumbing & HVAC Estimator, All Rights Reserved Page 11 (part 2)

6. Comparing MET deployed to the job site with MET returned to inventory yields MET actually used on
the job. That’s a very important number to every plumbing and HVAC estimator. Be sure actual usage
gets entered on the Project Summary form.

7. When the take-off on your next estimate is complete, compare that materials list with a summary of
RS and RN materials on hand from prior jobs.

8. Evaluate which returned materials can be redeployed on the new job.

9. It’s a management decision to either (1) charge the new job for the cost of RS and RN materials
already on hand, or (2) consider materials on hand as “free” and a competitive advantage in winning the
new bid. Either way, RN and RS materials are an asset to your company.

Plumbing and HVAC materials are expensive. Every mechanical contractor has an interest in MET
tracking. Everyone in your company should be aware of the need for good materials management. Used
correctly, the MET form in this book can help engineer more value into your jobs.

Maximizing the Value of Old Estimates


There should be two profits in every job. The first is money in the bank -- a return on time and expenses.
The second is what you learn from the job -- primarily by comparing the estimate you made with what
turns out to be your actual cost. On some jobs, the value of lessons learned may outweigh net revenue.

Every plumbing and HVAC contractor has marginal jobs. That’s normal. What shouldn’t be normal is
repeating mistakes. The best way to avoid trouble in your future is to keep track of your past. Keeping
old estimates available for reference can help prevent errors on new estimates.

As your file of completed estimates grows, organization becomes more important. You need an easy
way to find similar projects with the same components and comparable scope of work. If your
estimating file is in QuickBooks Pro, searching by keyword may be enough. Otherwise, I recommend
creating a short summary for each completed job, and an index that references all summaries available
for comparison. You’ll find a blank Project Summary form at the end of this section. To make reference
easier, create an index by type of job and equipment used. You may choose to use an alphabetical
index based on client name or project ID.

How to complete the Project Summary form is obvious. The many ways to use this form may not be so
obvious, so here are a few pointers.

1. Use your index of Project Summary forms to find completed jobs most similar to the job you’re
bidding. Believe it or not, Project Summary forms with the widest margin of error will be most useful.
Ask yourself: Who worked on those projects? Who was the field superintendent? Who were the
vendors? Did the errors result from poor estimating or the poor performance of vendors, supervisors or
crews? The most common estimating errors occur when (a) inspecting the job site, (b) examining the
plans or © reading the specifications. What did you miss and why? Look for pitfalls to avoid in the job
now being estimated. Identify the biggest two or three mistakes made when bidding that job. Make a
notation about each on the Project Summary form.

2. Now look at your bid for the current job. Which mistakes made on a prior job might you expect on
this job? Concentrate on the big three oversights to avoid: Inspecting the job site; examining the plans;
and reading the specifications.

3. Unless there’s a major error in take-off, your estimate of material costs should be within about 5
percent of the actual costs of materials. However, it’s common for labor cost estimates to vary 20
percent or more from actual labor costs. This is precisely where data from old jobs comes in handy. If
your Project Summary files show that some project types are consistent money-losers, either shift your
company’s focus to another class of work, factor more contingency into your bids, or find some way to
wring inefficiencies out of the labor component. Poor staging, delivery and retrieval procedures drag
down labor productivity on any job.

4. Use your file of Project Summary forms to spot any common thread that runs through either
money-making jobs or money-losing jobs. For example, if the names of certain subcontractors or
vendors are prominent on low-margin jobs, maybe there’s a relationship between your profit margin and
choice of subs and suppliers. Even the best and most reliable vendors can become complacent if not
challenged occasionally.

5. Project Summary forms should note changes and extras identified after the contract was signed --
both for which your company was paid and changes done without additional compensation. Projects
with changes and extras that exceed about 4 percent of the contract price deserve special scrutiny.
Jobs with changes beyond about 4 percent aren’t good for business, at least in my opinion. Nearly all
changes have a negative impact on your job schedule and require a disproportionate investment of
management resources. Too many changes can antagonize the owner and design staff, even if they
were responsible for the altered plans. You may know of a mechanical contractor with a reputation for
capitalizing on change orders. But I’ve rarely seen a job plagued with changes that turned into a

Utility of a Project Summary forms file is limited only by your ingenuity. The important point is to keep
and organize the source of your second profit available on every job. What you learn can be more
valuable than what you earn.

The Estimating Procedure


Every plumbing and HVAC estimator works under deadline pressure. You'll seldom have the luxury of
spending as much time as you would like on an estimate. Estimators who aren't organized waste
valuable time and tend to make careless errors. Try to be well organized and consistent in your
approach to estimating. For most projects, I recommend that you follow the procedures listed below and
in the order listed:

1. Get a second set of project drawings and specifications for use by your suppliers and subcontractors.
Remember that your subs and suppliers need access to the plans and specs and time to prepare their
quotes.

2. Study the plans and specs carefully. Highlight important items. Make a list of specific tasks that
require labor unit correction factors. The estimate is never complete until you're totally familiar with the
project and the applicable construction codes.

3. Get the general contractor or owner to identify the proposed construction schedule and subcontractor
lay-down (storage) area. Work schedule and site conditions always affect your costs.

4. Contact all potential suppliers and subcontractors as early as possible. Set a time when each can
come to your office to make their take-offs from the spare set of contract documents.

When this important preliminary work is done, or in progress, it's time to begin your detailed take-off.

Guidelines for Good Estimating


You can compile estimates on a legal pad, a printed estimating form or on a computer. Regardless of
the method, these guidelines will apply:

List Each Cost Separately on your take-off sheet. Don't combine system estimates, even if the
materials are the same type. A combined system estimate may have to be completely redone if
materials for one system are changed at a later date. Use the Estimate Detail Sheet on page 12 if you
don't already have a good material take-off form.

Use Engineer's Identification Numbers when listing equipment. The word pump without any other
description is ambiguous when there are several pumps included in the project.

Don't Forget Labor Adjustment factors if your labor costs are significantly higher or lower than the
costs used in this book. See instructions on page 7 for adjusting labor costs.

Use Colored Pencils or highlighters to mark the items you've taken off and listed. Use a different color
for each piping or ducting system.

Log Telephone Quotes and other important phone conversations on a telephone quote form. See the
sample on page 18.

Project Estimated Costs for labor, material and equipment to the time when the work is expected to be
done, not when the job is being estimated.

The only good estimate is a complete estimate. You've probably heard this saying, "He who makes the
most mistakes is likely to be low bidder, and live to regret it."
2020 National Plumbing & HVAC Estimator, All Rights Reserved Page 13 (part 2)

Preparing the Proposal


It's both common courtesy and good business practice to deliver an unpriced copy of your bid or
proposal letter to the general contractor three or four days before the bid deadline date. This gives the
contractor time to study your proposal and obtain alternate pricing for items you may have excluded. To
avoid misunderstandings, make sure your proposals include, as a minimum, the following elements:

1. The complete name and address of the proposed project.


2. Specification title and issue date.
3. A complete listing of drawings and their issue or revision date.
4. A complete list of addenda and their dates of issue.
5. A list of specification section numbers covered by your proposal.
6. A list of exclusions, clarifications and assumptions.

Your final bid can be phoned in or sent by fax, but it should reach the general contractor or owner no
more than five or ten minutes before the bid deadline. Prices submitted too early may have to be revised
because of last-minute price changes by subcontractors or suppliers.

Copper, Type K with Brazed Joints


Type K hard-drawn copper pipe with wrought copper fittings and brazed joints is used in a wide variety of
plumbing and HVAC systems such as potable water, heating hot water, chilled water, compressed air,
refrigerant and A.C. condensate.

Brazed joints are those made with silver or other alloy filler metals having melting points at, or above,
1,000 degrees F. Maximum working pressure/temperature relationships for brazed joints are
approximately as follows:

Maximum Working Pressure (PSIG)*


Water Temperature Nominal Pipe Size (inches)
(degrees F.) Up to 1 1-1/4 to 2 2-1/2 to 4
Up to 350 270 190 150
*For copper pipe and solder-type fittings using brazing alloys
melting at, or above 1,000 degrees F.

This section has been arranged to save the estimator’s time by including all normally-used system
components such as pipe, fittings, valves, hanger assemblies, riser clamps and miscellaneous items
under one heading. Additional items can be found under “Plumbing and Piping Specialties.” The cost
estimates in this section are based on the conditions, limitations and wage rates described in the
section “How to Use This Book” beginning on page 5.

Type K copper pipe with brazed joints, installed horizontally. Complete installation including six
to twelve wrought copper tees and six to twelve wrought copper elbows every 100', and hangers spaced
to meet plumbing code (a tee & elbow every 8.3' for 1/2" dia., a tee and elbow every 16.6' for 4" dia.).

Type K hard-drawn copper pipe with wrought copper fittings and soft-soldered joints is used in a wide
variety of plumbing and HVAC systems such as potable water, heating hot water, chilled water and A.C.
condensate.

Soft-soldered joints are those made with solders having melting points in the 350 degree F. to 500
degree F. range. Maximum working pressure/temperature relationships for soft-soldered joints are
approximately as follows:

Maximum Working Pressures (PSIG)*


Soft-solder Water Temp. Nominal Pipe Size (inches)
Type (degrees F.) Up to 1 1-1/4 to 2 2-1/2 to 4
100 200 175 150
50-50 150 150 125 100
tin-lead** 200 100 90 75
250 85 75 50
100 500 400 300
95-5 150 400 350 275
tin-antimony 200 300 250 200
250 200 175 150
*For copper pipe and solder-type fittings using soft-solders melting at approximately
350 degrees F. to 500 degrees F.
**The use of any solder containing lead is not allowed in potable water systems.

This section has been arranged to save the estimator’s time by including all normally-used system
components such as pipe, fittings, valves, hanger assemblies, riser clamps and miscellaneous items
under one heading. Additional items can be found under “Plumbing and Piping Specialties.” The cost
estimates in this section are based on the conditions, limitations and wage rates described in the
section “How to Use This Book” beginning on page 5.

Copper, Type L with Brazed Joints

Type L hard-drawn copper pipe with wrought copper fittings and brazed joints is used in a wide variety of
plumbing and HVAC systems such as potable water, heating hot water, chilled water, compressed air,
refrigerant and A.C. condensate.

Brazed joints are those made with silver or other alloy filler metals having melting points at, or above,
1,000 degrees F. Maximum working pressure/temperature relationships for brazed joints are
approximately as follows:

Maximum Working Pressure (PSIG)*


Water Temperature Nominal Pipe Size (inches)
(degrees F.) Up to 1 1-1/4 to 2 2-1/2 to 4
Up to 350 270 190 150
*For copper pipe and solder-type fittings using brazing alloys melting at, or above, 1000 degrees F

This section has been arranged to save the estimator’s time by including all normally-used system
components such as pipe, fittings, valves, hanger assemblies, riser clamps and miscellaneous items
under one heading. Additional items can be found under “Plumbing and Piping Specialties.” The cost
estimates in this section are based on the conditions, limitations and wage rates described in the
section “How to Use This Book” beginning on page 5.

Type L copper pipe with brazed joints installed horizontally. Complete installation including six to
twelve wrought copper tees and six to twelve wrought copper elbows every 100', and hangers spaced to
meet plumbing code (a tee & elbow every 8.3' for 1/2" dia., a tee and elbow every 16.6' for 4" dia.)

Copper, Type L with Soft-Soldered Joints

Type L hard-drawn copper pipe with wrought copper fittings and soft-soldered joints is used in a wide
variety of plumbing and HVAC systems such as potable water, heating hot water, chilled water, and
A.C. condensate.

Soft-soldered joints are those made with solders having melting points in the 350 degree F. to 500
degree F. range. Maximum working temperature/pressure relationships for soft-soldered joints are
approximately as follows:

Maximum Working Pressures (PSIG)*


Soft-solder Water Temp. Nominal Pipe Size (inches)
Type (degrees F.) Up to 1 1-1/4 to 2 2-1/2 to 4
100 200 175 150
50-50 150 150 125 100
tin-lead** 200 100 90 75
250 85 75 50
100 500 400 300
95-5 150 400 350 275
tin-antimony 200 300 250 200
250 200 175 150
*For copper pipe and solder-type fittings using soft-solders melting at approximately
350 degrees F. to 500 degrees F.
**The use of any solder containing lead is not allowed in potable water systems.

This section has been arranged to save the estimator’s time by including all normally-used system
components such as pipe, fittings, valves, hanger assemblies, riser clamps and miscellaneous items
under one heading. Additional items can be found under “Plumbing and Piping Specialties.” The cost
estimates in this section are based on the conditions, limitations and wage rates described in the
section “How to Use This Book” beginning on page 5.

Type L copper pipe with soft-soldered joints installed horizontally. Complete installation including
eight wrought copper tees and eight wrought copper elbows every 100', and hangers spaced to meet
plumbing code. Use these figures for preliminary estimates.

Copper, Type M with Brazed Joints

Type M hard-drawn copper pipe with wrought copper fittings and brazed joints is used in a wide variety
of plumbing and HVAC systems such as potable water, heating hot water and chilled water.

Brazed joints are those made with silver or other alloy filler metals having melting points at, or above,
1,000 degrees F. Maximum working pressure/temperature relationships for brazed joints are
approximately as follows:

Maximum Working Pressure (PSIG)*


Water Temperature Nominal Pipe Size (inches)
(degrees F.) Up to 1 1-1/4 to 2 2-1/2 to 4
Up to 350 270 190 150
*For copper pipe and solder-type fittings using brazing alloys melting at, or above,
1000 degrees F

This section has been arranged to save the estimator’s time by including all normally-used system
components such as pipe, fittings, valves, hanger assemblies, riser clamps and miscellaneous items
under one heading. Additional items can be found under “Plumbing and Piping Specialties.” The cost
estimates in this section are based on the conditions, limitations and wage rates described in the
section “How to Use This Book” beginning on page 5.

Type M copper pipe with brazed joints installed horizontally. Complete installation including six to
twelve wrought copper tees and six to twelve wrought copper elbows every 100', and hangers spaced to
meet plumbing code (a tee & elbow every 8.3' for 1/2" dia., a tee and elbow every 16.6' for 4" dia.).

Copper, Type M with Soft-Soldered Joints

Type M hard-drawn copper pipe with wrought copper fittings and soft-soldered joints is used in a wide
variety of plumbing and HVAC systems such as potable water, heating hot water, chilled water, and
A.C. condensate.

Soft-soldered joints are those made with solders having melting points in the 350 degree F. to 500
degree F. range. Maximum working pressure/temperature relationships for soft-soldered joints are
approximately as follows:

Maximum Working Pressures (PSIG)*


Soft-solder Water Temp. Nominal Pipe Size (inches)
Type (degrees F.) Up to 1 1-1/4 to 2 2-1/2 to 4
100 200 175 150
50-50 150 150 125 100
tin-lead** 200 100 90 75
250 85 75 50
100 500 400 300
95-5 150 400 350 275
tin-antimony 200 300 250 200
250 200 175 150
*For copper pipe and solder-type fittings using soft-solders melting at approximately
350 degrees F. to 500 degrees F.
**The use of any solder containing lead is not allowed in potable water systems.

This section has been arranged to save the estimator’s time by including all normally-used system
components such as pipe, fittings, valves, hanger assemblies, riser clamps and miscellaneous items
under one heading. Additional items can be found under “Plumbing and Piping Specialties.” The cost
estimates in this section are based on the conditions, limitations and wage rates described in the
section “How to Use This Book” beginning on page 5.

Type M copper pipe with soft-soldered joints installed horizontally. Complete installation
including six to twelve wrought copper tees and six to twelve wrought copper elbows every 100', and
hangers spaced to meet plumbing code (a tee & elbow every 8.3' for 1/2" dia., a tee and elbow every
16.6' for 4" dia.).

PVC, Schedule 40, with Solvent-Weld Joints

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) Schedule 40 pipe with Schedule 40 socket-type fittings and solvent-welded
joints is widely used in process, chemical, A.C. condensate, potable water and irrigation piping
systems. PVC is available in Type I (normal impact) and Type II (high impact). Type I has a maximum
temperature rating of 150 degrees F., and Type II is rated at 140 degrees F.

Consult the manufacturers for maximum pressure ratings and recommended joint solvents for specific
applications.

Because of the current unreliability of many plastic valves, most engineers specify standard
bronze-body and iron-body valves for use in PVC water piping systems. Plastic valves, however, have to
be used in systems conveying liquids that may be injurious to metallic valves.

This section has been arranged to save the estimator’s time by including all normally-used system
components such as pipe, fittings, valves, hanger assemblies, riser clamps and miscellaneous items
under one heading. Additional items can be found under “Plumbing and Piping Specialties.” The cost
estimates in this section are based on the conditions, limitations and wage rates described in the
section “How to Use This Book” beginning on page 5.

Equipment cost, where shown, is $4.33 per hour for a 2-ton chain hoist.

Schedule 40 PVC pipe assembly with solvent-weld joints installed horizontally. Complete
installation including three to eight tees and three to eight elbows every 100' and hangers spaced to
meet plumbing code (a tee and elbow every 12' for 1/2" dia., a tee and elbow every 40' for 8" dia.).

PVC, Schedule 80, with Solvent-Weld Joints

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) Schedule 80 pipe with Schedule 80 socket-type fittings and solvent-welded
joints is widely used in process, chemical, A.C. condensate, potable water and irrigation piping
systems. PVC is available in Type I (normal impact) and Type II (high impact). Type I has a maximum
temperature rating of 150 degrees F., and Type II is rated at 140 degrees F.

Schedule 80 PVC can be threaded, but it is more economical to use solvent-welded joints.

Manufacturers should be consulted for maximum pressure ratings and recommended joints solvents for
specific applications.

Because of the current unreliability of many plastic valves, most engineers specify standard
bronze-body and iron-body valves for use in PVC water piping systems. Plastic valves, however, have to
be used in systems conveying liquids that may be injurious to metallic valves.

This section has been arranged to save the estimator’s time by including all normally-used system
components such as pipe, fittings, valves, hanger assemblies, riser clamps and miscellaneous items
under one heading. Additional items can be found under “Plumbing and Piping Specialties.” The cost
estimates in this section are based on the conditions, limitations and wage rates described in the
section “How to Use This Book” beginning on page 5.

Equipment cost, where shown, is $4.33 per hour for a 2-ton chain hoist.

Schedule 80 PVC pipe assembly with solvent-weld joints installed horizontally. Complete
installation including three to eight tees and three to eight elbows every 100' and hangers spaced to
meet plumbing code (a tee and elbow every 12' for 1/2" dia., a tee and elbow every 40' for 8"dia.).

Polyethylene-Aluminum Pipe with Crimped Joints

HDPE – High Density Polyethylene pipe, or PEX pipe, is cross-linked at the molecular level. Composite
pressure pipe is aluminum tube laminated between 2 layers of plastic pipe. An additional external layer
of an EVOH polymer creates an oxygen barrier and restricts oxygen permeability. It is manufactured
and sold in various coiled lengths (200' to 1,000' rolls). The jointing method can be either crimped or
compression connections. It will not rust or corrode and, because of its flexibility, installations require
approximately 40% less fittings. Expansion rates are similar to copper, but its thermal coefficient (heat
loss) is over 800 times less than copper. It is also chemically resistant to most acids, salt solutions,
alkalis, fats and oils.

Common applications include ice or snow melting systems, radiant floor heating systems, water service
tubing, hot & cold domestic water service, chilled water systems, compressed air systems, solar and
process piping applications. Ice or snow melting systems require an oxygen barrier type PEX pipe
selection.

Polyethylene-Aluminum Pipe with Compression Joints

HDPE – High Density Polyethylene pipe, or PEX pipe, is cross-linked at the molecular level. Composite
pressure pipe is aluminum tube laminated between 2 layers of plastic pipe. An additional external layer
of an EVOH polymer creates an oxygen barrier and restricts oxygen permeability. It is manufactured
and sold in various coiled lengths (200' to 1,000' rolls). The jointing method can be either crimped or
compression connections. It will not rust or corrode and, because of its flexibility, installations require
approximately 40% less fittings. Expansion rates are similar to copper, but its thermal coefficient (heat
loss) is over 800 times less than copper. It is also chemically resistant to most acids, salt solutions,
alkalis, fats and oils.

Common applications include ice or snow melting systems, radiant floor heating systems, water service
tubing, hot & cold domestic water service, chilled water systems, compressed air systems, solar and
process piping applications. Ice or snow melting systems require an oxygen barrier type PEX pipe
selection.

Cast Iron, DWV, Service Weight, No-Hub with Coupled Joints

Service weight cast iron soil pipe with hub-less coupled joints is widely used for non-pressurized
underground and in-building drain, waste and vent (DWV) systems.

This section has been arranged to save the estimator’s time by including all normally-used system
components such as pipe, fittings, hanger assemblies and riser clamps under one heading. Additional
items can be found under “Plumbing and Piping Specialties.” The cost estimates in this section are
based on the conditions, limitations and wage rates described in the section “How to Use This Book”
beginning on page 5.

Equipment cost, where shown, is $4.33 per hour for a 2-ton chain hoist.

DWV cast iron no-hub (MJ) horizontal pipe assembly. Horizontally hung in a building. Assembly
includes fittings, couplings, hangers and rod. Based on a reducing wye and a 45-degree elbow every 15
feet and a hanger every 6 feet for 2" pipe. A reducing wye and a 45-degree elbow every 40 feet and a
hanger every 8 feet for 10" pipe. (Distance between fittings in the pipe assembly increases as pipe
diameter increases.) Use these figures for preliminary estimates.

Copper, DWV with Soft-Soldered Joints

Copper drainage tubing is used for non-pressurized above-grade, interior building drain, waste and vent
(DWV) systems.
Because of its thin walls, it must be handled carefully and protected from damage during building
construction.

This section has been arranged to save the estimator’s time by including all normally-used system
components such as pipe, fittings, hanger assemblies and riser clamps under one heading. Additional
items can be found under “Plumbing and Piping Specialties.” The cost estimates in this section are
based on the conditions, limitations and wage rates described in the section “How to Use This Book”
beginning on page 5.

DWV copper pipe assembly, installed horizontally. Assembly includes fittings, couplings, hangers
and rod. Based on a reducing wye and a 45-degree elbow every 12 feet for 1-1/4" pipe, a reducing wye
and a 45-degree elbow every 25 feet for 4" pipe, and hangers spaced to meet plumbing code.

ABS, DWV with Solvent-Weld Joints

ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) ASTM D 2661-73 is made from various grades of rubber-based
resins and is primarily used for non-pressurized drain, waste and vent (DWV) systems.

ABS can also be used for low-temperature (100 degree F. maximum) water distribution systems, but
consult the manufacturers for the proper ASTM type, maximum pressure limitations and recommended
joint solvent.

The current Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC) states in Sections 401 and 503 that “ABS piping systems
shall be limited to those structures where combustible construction is allowed.” This does not preclude
its use for underground DWV systems.

This section has been arranged to save the estimator’s time by including all normally-used system
components such as pipe, fittings, hanger assemblies and riser clamps under one heading. The cost
estimates in this section are based on the conditions, limitations and wage rates described in the
section “How to Use This Book” beginning on page 5.

PVC, DWV with Solvent-Weld Joints

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) meets ASTM – D3034, D3212, F1336, F679 & CSA 182.2 (CSA – Canadian
Standards Association – similar to UL – Underwriters Laboratories). The applications for PVC DWV
have increased in number due to the unique flame-spread characteristics of their compounds, as well as
the development of new fire stop devices for use with combustible piping systems.

PVC will not rust, pit or degrade when exposed to moisture and is extremely resistant to a broad range
of corrosive agents.

PVC DWV is suitable for sewer, vent and storm water drainage applications in both below- and
above-grade applications.

When penetrating a vertical or horizontal fire separation (fire-rated wall or floor) with combustible piping,
certified fire stop devices must be used in compliance with local and national codes.

PVC DWV is not permitted in a ceiling space used as a return air plenum and is not permitted in a
vertical shaft. PVC DWV has a flame-spread rating of 15.

PVC, DWV with Gasketed Bell and Spigot Joints

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) is polymerized vinyl chloride produced from acetylene and anhydrous
hydrochloric acid.

PVC sewer pipe (ASTM D-3034) 10' lay length, is for underground installation and is used primarily to
convey sewage and rain water. It is of the bell & spigot type with joints made water-tight by means of an
elastomeric gasket (O-ring) factory-installed in the hub end of the pipe and fittings.

This section includes pipe and all commonly-used fittings. Additional items can be found under
“Plumbing and Piping Specialties.” The cost estimates in this section are based on the conditions,
limitations, and wage rates described in the section “How to Use This Book” beginning on page 5.

Polypropylene, Schedule 40, with Heat-Fusioned Joints

Polypropylene is used almost exclusively for acid and laboratory drain, waste and vent (DWV) systems.

Joints are made by applying low-voltage current to electrical resistance coils imbedded in propylene
collars, which are slipped over the ends of the pipe, then inserted into the hubs of the fittings.
Compression clamps are placed around the assemblies and tightened to compress the joints prior to
applying electrical current from the power unit to fuse the joint.

This section has been arranged to save the estimator’s time by including all normally-used system
components such as pipe, fittings, hanger assemblies, and riser clamps under one heading. The cost
estimates in this section are based on the conditions, limitations and wage rates described in the
section “How to Use This Book” beginning on page 5.

Boilers for industrial, commercial and institutional applications. ASME “H” or “U” stamped, LFUE
(Levelized Fuel Utilization Efficiency) certified 90% or better. U.S. Green Building council certified.
Cleaver-Brooks or equal. Shipped factory-assembled and skid-mounted. Includes the boiler shell and
structure, I-beam skids, combustion chamber, fire tubes, crown sheet, tube sheets (for fire tube), water
tubes, mud drum(s), steam drum (for water tube boiler), finned water tubes and check valves (for hot
water generators), refractory brick lining, explosion doors, combustion air inlets and stack outlet. Add
the cost of the fuel train piping, electrical wiring, refractory, stack, feedwater system, combustion
controls, water treatment, expansion tanks (if hot water) or condensate return (if steam) and system
start-up. See the sections following packaged boilers. Costs are based on boiler horsepower rating
(BHP). Add the cost of commissioning, insurance inspection, permit, permit inspection, hydraulic test,
calibration and lockout sealing of emissions monitor, and final run test. Equipment cost assumes a
17-ton hydraulic truck-mounted crane (at $132 per hour). LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental
Design) certification requires 88% boiler efficiency, recording controls, compliance with SCAQMD
1146.2 emission standards and zone recording thermostats. A LEED-certified boiler with a U.S. Green
Building Council rating will add 4% to 15% to the cost of the boiler, as identified in the cost tables that

Carbon Steel, Schedule 40 with 150# Fittings & Butt-Welded Joints

Schedule 40 carbon steel (ASTM A-53 and A-120) pipe with 150 pound carbon steel welding fittings is
commonly used for heating hot water, chilled water, glycol and low pressure steam systems where
operating pressures don’t exceed 250 PSIG.

Schedule 40 (ASTM A-53B SML) steel pipe with carbon steel welding fittings can also be used for
refrigerant piping systems.

The cost estimates in this section are based on the conditions, limitations and wage rates described
in the section “How to Use This Book” beginning on page 5.

Equipment cost, where shown, is $4.33 per hour for a 2-ton chain hoist and $6.47 per hour for 200
amp gas welder, trailer mounted.

Schedule 40 carbon steel butt-welded horizontal pipe assembly. Horizontally hung in a building.
Assembly includes fittings and hanger assemblies. Based on a reducing tee and a 45-degree elbow
every 16 feet for 1/2" pipe. A reducing tee and a 45-degree elbow every 50 feet for 12" pipe. Hangers
spaced to meet plumbing code. (Distance between fittings in the pipe assembly increases as pipe
diameter increases.) Use these figures for preliminary estimates.

Carbon Steel, Schedule 40 with 150# M.I. Fittings & Threaded Joints

Schedule 40 carbon steel (ASTM A-53 and A-120) pipe with 150 pound malleable iron threaded fittings
is commonly used for heating hot water, chilled water, glycol and low pressure steam systems where
operating pressures do not exceed 125 PSIG and temperatures are below 250 degrees F., for pipe sizes
2" and smaller. For pipe sizes 2-1/2" and larger, wrought steel fittings with either welded or grooved
joints should be used.

Schedule 40 (ASTM A-53B SML) steel pipe with carbon steel welding fittings can also be used for
refrigerant piping systems.

This section has been arranged to save the estimator's time by including all normally-used system
components such as pipe, fittings, valves, hanger assemblies, riser clamps and miscellaneous items
under one heading. Additional items can be found under “Plumbing and Piping Specialties.” The cost
estimates in this section are based on the conditions, limitations and wage rates described in the
section “How to Use This Book” beginning on page 5.

Schedule 40 carbon steel threaded horizontal pipe assembly. Horizontally hung in a building.
Assembly includes fittings and hanger assemblies. Based on a reducing tee and a 45-degree elbow
every 16 feet for 1/2" pipe. A reducing tee and a 45-degree elbow every 30 feet for 4" pipe. Hangers
spaced to meet plumbing code. (Distance between fittings in the pipe assembly increases as pipe
diameter increases.) Use these figures for preliminary estimates.

Carbon Steel, Schedule 5 with Pressfit Fittings

Schedule 5 carbon steel (ASTM A-53, A135 and A-795) pipe with pressfit fittings. The pressfit
jointing method offers economy, speed and reliability for joining 3/4" to 2" diameter pipe for fire
protection, heating and cooling water systems. (Use roll-grooved pipe and fittings for 2-1/2" and larger
pipe diameters.)

The pressfit system for carbon steel is BOCA approved. Listed by SBCCI PST and ESI and is
UL/ULC listed and FM approved for 175 PSI (1,200 kPa) on fire protection services and is rated to 300
PSI(2,065 kPa) for heating water systems.

The pressfit system requires no special preparation of the pipe ends before assembly. Pipe should
be square cut (+/-0.030") and de-burred. Pressfit system products are designed only for use on
approved Schedule 5 carbon steel pipe.

O-ring selection as specified by the mechanical design engineer. Type O O-rings are rated for
application temperatures of +20 degrees F to +300 degrees F. Type O O-rings are recommended for
many oxidizing acids, petroleum oils, halogenated hydrocarbons, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, organic
liquids and air with hydrocarbons within the specified temperature range. Not recommended for steam
services.

Standard type E O-rings are rated for application temperatures of -30 degrees F to +230 degrees F.
Type E O-rings are recommended for hot water service within the specified temperature range plus a
variety of dilute acids, oil free air and many chemical services.

Type T O-rings are rated for application temperatures of -20 degrees F to +180 degrees F. Type T
O-rings are recommended for petroleum products, air with oil vapors, vegetable or mineral oils within the
specified temperature range. Not recommended for hot water services over 150 degrees F., or steam, or
hot dry air over 140 degrees F.

A specialized hand-held electric pressfit tool is required to make the pipe/fitting connections.
Equipment cost, where shown, is $2.09 per hour for this electric pressfit tool.

Schedule 5 carbon steel pipe, plain end, pressfit joints, pipe only. No hangers or fittings.

Carbon Steel, Schedule 80 with 300# Malleable Fittings & Threaded Joints

Schedule 80 carbon steel (ASTM A-53 and A-120) pipe with 300 pound malleable iron threaded fittings
is commonly used for heating hot water, chilled water, steam and steam condensate systems where
operating pressures do not exceed 250 PSIG for pipe sized 2" and smaller. For pipe sizes 2-1/2" and
larger wrought steel fittings either welded or grooved should be used.

The cost estimates in this section are based on the conditions, limitations and wage rates described
in the section “How to Use This Book” beginning on page 5.

Equipment cost, where shown, is $4.33 per hour for a 2-ton chain hoist.

Schedule 80 carbon steel threaded horizontal pipe assembly. Horizontally hung in a building.
Assembly includes fittings and hanger assemblies. Based on a reducing tee and a 45-degree elbow
every 16 feet for 1/2" pipe and a reducing tee and a 45-degree elbow every 30 feet for 4" pipe. Hangers
spaced to meet plumbing code. (Distance between fittings in the pipe assembly increases as pipe
diameter increases.) Use these figures for preliminary estimates.

Carbon Steel, Schedule 40 with Roll-Grooved Joints

Schedule 40 carbon steel (ASTM A-53 and A-120) roll-grooved pipe with factory grooved malleable iron,
ductile iron, or steel fittings is commonly used for heating hot water, chilled water and condenser water
systems.
Consult the manufacturers for maximum operating temperature/pressure ratings for the various
combinations of pipe and fittings and system applications.
The cost estimates in this section are based on the conditions, limitations and wage rates described
in the section “How to Use This Book” beginning on page 5.
Equipment cost, where shown, is $4.33 per hour for a 2-ton chain hoist.

Schedule 40 carbon steel roll-grooved horizontal pipe assembly. Horizontally hung in a building.
Assembly includes fittings, couplings and hanger assemblies. Based on a reducing tee and a 45-degree
elbow every 16 feet for 1/2" pipe. A reducing tee and a 45-degree elbow every 50 feet for 12" pipe.
Hangers spaced to meet plumbing code. (Distance between fittings in the pipe assembly increases as
pipe diameter increases.) Use these figures for preliminary estimates.

Carbon Steel, Schedule 10 with Roll-Grooved Joints

Schedule 10 carbon steel (ASTM A-53) roll-grooved pipe with factory grooved malleable iron, ductile iron,
or steel fittings is commonly used for sprinkler systems, heating hot water, chilled water and condenser
water systems.

Consult the manufacturers for maximum operating temperature/pressure ratings for the various
combinations of pipe and fittings and system applications.

The cost estimates in this section are based on the conditions, limitations and wage rates described
in the section “How to Use This Book” beginning on page 5.

Equipment cost, where shown, is $4.33 per hour for a 2-ton chain hoist.

Schedule 10 carbon steel roll-grooved horizontal pipe assembly. Horizontally hung in a building.
Assembly includes fittings, couplings and hanger assemblies. Based on a reducing tee and a 45-degree
elbow every 16 feet for 1/2" pipe. A reducing tee and a 45-degree elbow every 50 feet for 12" pipe.
Hangers spaced to meet plumbing code. (Distance between fittings in the pipe assembly increases as
pipe diameter increases.) Use these figures for preliminary estimates.

Carbon Steel, Schedule 40 with Cut-Grooved Joints

Schedule 40 carbon steel (ASTM A-53 and A-120) cut-grooved pipe with factory-grooved malleable iron,
ductile iron or steel fittings is commonly used for heating hot water, chilled water and condenser water
systems.

Consult the manufacturers for maximum operating temperature/pressure ratings for various
combinations of pipe and fittings.

This section has been arranged to save the estimator’s time by including all normally-used system
components such as pipe, fittings, valves, hanger assemblies, riser clamps and miscellaneous items
under one heading. Additional items can be found under “Plumbing and Piping Specialties.” The cost
estimates in this section are based on the conditions, limitations and wage rates described in the
section “How to Use This Book” beginning on page 5.

Equipment cost, where shown, is $4.33 per hour for a 2-ton chain hoist.

Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED).


LEED offers an incentive to building owners to install energy-efficient and environmentally sensitive
HVAC equipment. The LEED program awards points for application of the best available technology. The
HVAC system can earn a maximum of 17 points toward LEED certification. A LEED-certified air
conditioning system must comply with ASHRAE 90.1-2004 (efficiency) and ASHRAE 62.1-2004 (indoor
air quality) standards. LEED certification also requires recording controls (Carrier ComfortView 3 or
equal) to measure system performance. Zone sensor thermostats (Carrier Debonair or equal) are
required to provide performance and efficiency data to the digital recorder. An indoor air quality CO2
sensor, duct-mounted aspirator modules and a refrigerant such as Puron R-410A are also required.

Heat Recovery Ventilators - Commercial

Heat Recovery Ventilators provide a fresh air supply to tightly sealed building envelopes. An HRV
extracts heat from the stale indoor air being exhausted and transfers the heat to the fresh air being
drawn into the building through the HRV. Heat recovery ventilators are also excellent dehumidifiers.

HRV unit features include energy-efficient defrost cycle, cross-flow polypropylene heat exchanger,
acoustically lined cabinet, outdoor air filter.

Allow 15-30 cfm per person or .04 to.05 cfm per square foot when sizing HRV unit. (ASHRAE62-19890)
(cfm = cubic feet per minute)

Water Coil Piping

Engineering drawings of coil piping details have a bad reputation among HVAC contractors and
estimators. They're notorious for what they leave out. They'll rarely show more than one coil bank, no
matter how big the system is. Furthermore, the drawings hardly ever call out sizes for either the piping
or the control valves. Don't be taken in by the apparent simplicity of the system as shown in these
drawings. It's likely to be only the tip of the iceberg. For example, unless the air handling capacity of the
system is less than 16,000 CFM the single coil bank shown won't be adequate. Add one or two more
coil banks and you're looking at a lot more piping -- and a more complex system that takes longer to
install.

You probably haven't even decided which equipment supplier to use. This is hardly the time for you
to start researching heating and cooling coils. Nevertheless, you need better, more complete and
realistic data to come up with a competitive estimate.

We'll see how and where to track down the hard data that you have to take the time to find. I'll also
pass along a few tips on estimating water coil piping. They'll help you avoid leaving something out of
your estimates. That's a real pitfall for any beginner. It's those little (but essential) items, so easily
overlooked, that are so deadly to a profit margin. Finally, at the end of this section there are three pages
of diagrams with tables. The data given there, combined with the data you collected earlier, forms the
basis for informed guesswork.

The Hard Data

There are two things you absolutely must know to estimate water coil piping. First, the size of the
branch piping to the coils. Second, the CFM rating of the air handling units for the system.

To find the pipe sizes, look at either the floor plans or the details for the equipment room. They'll list
the sizes of the branch run-out pipes. Once you know them, you can make a good guess at the right
size for the control valves. (See the diagrams and tables on pages 292 and 293.) The only information
you need is the CFM ratings of the air handling units and the branch piping sizes to the coils. If the
system's capacity is over 16,000 CFM, you need two or three coil banks.

A Few Tips on Estimating Water Coil Piping

1) Coil connection sizes seldom match branch pipe sizes. Be sure to include the reducing fittings you'll
need in any estimate.

2) Two-way and three-way control valves are both usually one pipe size smaller than the pipe where
they're installed. That means you'll need either two or three reducing fittings per control valve. Be sure
you include their cost in your estimates.

Using the Diagrams

In the following diagrams, for clarity some items are not included. These items are: balance valves,
shut-off valves, reducers, strainers, gauges and gauge taps. Any details you need about these items for
your estimate are in the engineer's coil piping details.

Heat Pumps
In general, heat pumps are more effective in milder winter climates. In colder winter climates,
secondary/supplemental electric heating elements (or equivalent heating source) are recommended.
A geothermal heat pump system’s efficient operation is largely dependent upon proper design, layout,
sizing and installation of the ground loop piping system for closed loop systems. In the case of
well-to-well, the efficient operation of open loop systems is largely dependent upon the ability of the
supply and return, or dump wells to meet the water volume demand of the heat pumps.
Rules of thumb when sizing loop & well systems:
Heating capacity, when considered or measured in tons cooling or refrigeration, is generally 3 to 4 times
that of required cooling capacity for climates within 100 miles of the 49th parallel, i.e., if 2 tons of
cooling is required, allow 6-8 tons of heating capacity (1 ton = 12,000 Btu).
Use 250 square feet per ton, e.g., a 2,000-square-foot home requires a 6-ton heat pump (heating
capacity).
(Calculation based on R-20 wall and R-40 attic insulation, minimum dual pane argon-charged windows.)

Closed Vertical Loop:


Vertical Bore Hole Loop -- 3/4" or 1" diameter, socket fusioned loop = 200'-250' total bore hole depth per
ton. For example, a 6-ton unit requires between 1,200'-1,500' (twelve to fifteen 5" bore holes, each 100'
deep) with the associated 12-15 loop drops, spaced a minimum of 20' apart, connected to an
adequately sized header, immersed in a bentonite slurry and applied with a tremie tube.

Closed Horizontal Loop:


Straight run -- 3/4" or 1" diameter manifolded loop = 400 horizontal feet per ton. For example, a 6-ton
unit requires 2,400 horizontal feet (eight 300' runs, 150' out, 150' back, minimum 2' radius return bend,
placed a minimum 10' apart, minimum 4' buried depth, or buried below potential winter frost line).
Slinky -- 3/4" or 1" diameter manifolded loop = 400 horizontal feet per ton. For example, a 6-ton unit
requires 2,400 horizontal feet (eight 300' runs, 50' out, 50' back, coiled, placed a minimum 20' apart,
minimum 4' buried depth, or buried below potential winter frost line. (Below 7' at 100 miles, or farther,
north of the 49th parallel.)

Open Loop:
Well-to-Well -- 2.5 gallons per minute per ton, each well (two required: supply & return). For example, a
6-ton unit requires 12-15 gallons per minute capacity per well.

Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED)


LEED offers an incentive to building owners to install energy-efficient and environmentally sensitive
HVAC equipment. The LEED program awards points for application of the best available technology. The
HVAC system can earn a maximum of 17 points toward LEED certification. A LEED-certified air
conditioning system must comply with ASHRAE 90.1-2004 (efficiency) and ASHRAE 62.1-2004 (indoor
air quality) standards. LEED certification also requires recording controls (Carrier ComfortView 3 or
equal) to measure system performance. Zone sensor thermostats (Carrier Debonair or equal) are
required to provide performance and efficiency data to the digital recorder. An indoor air quality CO2
sensor, duct-mounted aspirator modules and a refrigerant such as Puron R-410A are also required.

Geothermal ground or water source heat pump (open or closed loop), w/active cooling.
Glycol/water mixture or water-to-air thermal transfer. The refrigeration circuit operates in the heating and
cooling mode as required (sometimes referred to as active heating & cooling or mechanical heating &
cooling). This unit is suited for either open or closed loop systems. These units provide a higher degree
of cooling capacity than the open loop, passive “free” cooling units. See table below. Optional
de-superheater system provides domestic hot water temperature preheat or boost. Make additional
allowances for the thermal source, i.e., horizontal ground loop, vertical bore hole ground loop, supply
and return water wells, pond or lake source loop, etc. Make additional allowances for connections,
ancillary components, start up and testing. Based on R-410A refrigerant.

Geothermal water wells


A geothermal water well is constructed and operates exactly like a water well used for drinking water. In
many residential applications, the supply well of the geothermal system also functions as the domestic
water supply well.

The cost of a drilled well depends on many variables, such as costs to get the drilling rig and crew to
the site, the type of geologic formation the well drilling rig must drill through, the depth the driller must
achieve to find water in that particular location and the distance from an existing available water source
to provide the water required to drill (to refill the water truck if necessary).

Well drillers charge by the foot and usually have a 100' minimum charge-out fee. They can only
speculate to what depth they must drill to find water. Water being found at a particular depth nearby
doesn’t always translate to finding water at another given location at the same depth. It’s important to
remember that drilling a relatively small hole in the ground and hoping to hit what is described as a vein
of water as part of an underground water table is always a gamble. As such, it is, without proper
research, difficult to determine a realistic budget for well drilling. It’s always prudent to call the water
authority or a well driller in the area for the most accurate information on the water and geological
characteristics of a given location.

Use the following to begin to formulate a budget exclusive of costs associated with factors listed above.
Because of the inherent uncertainties of the process, these prices are given only as typical subcontract
costs.

Apparatus Housing

Unitary or factory-packaged air conditioning units are often too small to meet the heating and cooling
needs of a large single-zone space. In such cases, engineers design what's called a "built-up" system.
They're custom fitted to the client's needs and the space. A typical "built-up" system includes the
following equipment:

• centrifugal blowers or axial-flow fans


• damper assemblies
• coil banks
• filter banks

Once the system's assembled, it's enclosed in a shop-fabricated housing or casing. The illustration on
page 332 in the book shows a standard apparatus housing. The walls and roof are shop-built panels.
These panels consist of a layer of thermal insulation covered on one or both sides with sheets of 18
gauge galvanized steel. An interior framework of steel angles or channels supports the panels. Seal all
mating surfaces to minimize air leakage, using gaskets, caulking or sealant.

Apparatus Housing

There are two types of panels used in building apparatus housings: "double-skin" panels and
"single-skin" panels. Double-skin panels have a layer of thermal insulation material sandwiched between
two sheets of 18 gauge galvanized steel. Single-skin panels also have a layer of insulation. However,
only the outside surface is clad in 18 gauge steel sheeting. On the inside the panel insulation is
exposed.

The costs of constructing and installing apparatus housings vary greatly. This is due to the wide range
of possible conditions and needs that you face on each job. Some of the many factors that influence
costs here include the following:

• internal operating pressures


• external wind loads
• seismic requirements
• physical locations

That's why I recommend that you always prepare a detailed cost estimate. Then, you can take all the
particulars into account. However, for budget estimating purposes only, use the following cost data:

Single-skin panels $11.40 per SF*


Double-skin panels $19.30 per SF*
Access doors (20" x 60") $394.00 each
*Total area of walls and roof, less doors.

When you're estimating material costs for apparatus housings, remember to add in an extra 25 percent
to cover the following costs: waste, seams, gaskets, sealants and miscellaneous assembly hardware.

Labor for Shop-Fabrication and Field Assembly of Apparatus Housings. The costs listed are
manhours per square foot (SF) of panel. To find the total SF of panel, add up areas for all the panels.

Description Shop Labor (MH per SF) Field Labor (MH per SF)
Single-skin panels .040 .250
Double-skin panels .085 .300
Add for access doors .400 .240

Galvanized Steel Ductwork

The costs for fabricating and installing galvanized steel ductwork are usually based on the total weights
of the duct and fittings. Because of cost differences, fitting weights should be kept separate from
straight duct weights.

Round spiral duct: Normally-used duct gauge/size relationships for low-pressure systems, up to 2
inches static pressure, are as follows:

Duct Diameter (inches) U.S. Standard Gauge


Up to 12 26
13 through 24 24
26 through 36 22

Rectangular duct: Normally-used duct gauge/size relationships for low-pressure systems, up to 2


inches static pressure, are as follows:

Duct Diameter (inches) U.S. Standard Gauge


Up to 12 26
13 through 30 24
31 through 54 22
55 through 72 20
The fitting weights in the following tables are in accordance with the above gauges.

Other material costs: All weights in the tables are net weights; they do not include bracing, cleats,
scrap, hangers, end closures, sealants and miscellaneous hardware. Add 15% to calculated duct/fitting
weights to cover these items if ductwork is purchased. Add 20% if ducting is manufactured in
contractor's shop. The additional 5% covers the costs for scrap which is already included in an outside
vendor's price.

Ductwork costs: Typical costs for purchased ductwork are as follows:

Straight duct, less than 1,000 pounds per order $3.13/lb.


Straight duct, over 1,000 pounds per order $2.81/lb.
Fittings, less than 1,000 pounds per order $6.31/lb
Fittings, over 1,000 pounds per order $5.66/lb.
Lined ducts and fittings, add $ 1.68/lb.*
Delivery costs $ .15/lb.
*Duct sizes shown on drawings are always inside, or net, dimensions and must be
increased in size when estimating lined ductwork.

If ductwork is manufactured in the contractor's fabrication shop, the above costs can be reduced by
about 20%, depending on the shop's rate of productivity.

Galvanized Steel Ductwork

Installation costs: An average crew can install approximately 25 pounds of duct and fittings per
manhour under normal conditions. See "Applying Correction Factors" on page 6 for situations that do
not conform to the definition of a standard labor unit.

EXAMPLE:
What is the cost to furnish and install 2,585 pounds of unlined duct and 560 pounds of unlined
fittings? The ductwork will be purchased from an outside vendor. A 15% allowance for miscellaneous
material is included in the weights.

Material:
2,585 pounds of straight duct x $2.81/lb. = $7,263.85
560 pounds of fittings x $6.31/lb. = 3,533.60
Delivery cost: (2,585 + 560) x $.15/lb. = 471.75
Total material cost = $11,269.20*

Labor:
2,585 + 560
---------------- = 125.8 MH; 125.8 MH x $36.04 = $4,533.83
25

Total installed cost: $11,152.45 + $4,511.19 = $15,803.03*


*Sales tax not included.

Fiberglass Ductwork

Standard fiberglass ductwork, or duct board, should not be used in systems where air velocities exceed
2,500 feet per minute, or where static pressures are higher than 2 inches of water gauge.

Additionally, it should not be used for the following applications:

1) Equipment rooms
2) Underground or outdoors
3) Final connections to air handling equipment
4) Plenums or casings
5) Fume, heat or moisture exhaust systems

The costs for manufacturing and installing fiberglass ductwork are based on the net areas of the duct
and fittings.

Here are approximate current material costs, per square foot:

Fiberglass Type Up to 2,500 SF Over 2,500 SF


Material $/SF Material $/SF
475 4.47 4.08
800 4.90 4.45
1400 6.01 5.78
Additional costs: Approximately 25 cents per square foot should be added for the cost of
tie rods, hangers, staples, tape and waste.

Type 475 fiberglass board is used almost exclusively for residential and small commercial air systems,
while Types 800 and 1400 are used in larger commercial and industrial systems.

*Labor rates are based on using a standard grooving machine and include all tie-rod reinforcing.

Labor correction factors:

1) Hand grooving in lieu of machine grooving: 1.58


2) Use of an auto-closer: .82
3) Tie-rods enclosed in conduit: 1.36
4) T-bar or channel reinforcing in lieu of tie-rods: 1.25

In the following installation table the measurements refer to the “semi-perimeter”, the width plus depth of
the ductwork. Example – 12” duct (8” wide plus 4” high) has 2.00 SF of area for each linear foot.

Trenching

Because of varying soil compositions and densities, trenching costs can sometimes be difficult to
accurately estimate. The tables in this section are based on average soil conditions, which are loosely
defined as dirt, soft clay or gravel mixed with rocks. The costs for trenching through limestone,
sandstone or shale can increase by as much as 1,000 percent. For these conditions, it is best to
consult with experts or to subcontract the work to specialists.

The primary consideration in excavations is to ensure the safety of the pipe layers. Current OSHA
statutes require all excavations over 5 feet deep to be sloped, shored, sheeted or braced to prevent
cave-ins. The use of shoring minimizes trenching costs by eliminating the need to slope the trench
walls, but increases pipe-laying costs because of the difficulty in working between cross-bracing.

The estimator should carefully compare the costs for installing and removing shoring, and reduced pipe
installation productivity, against the additional excavation costs for sloping the walls of the trench. For
average soil conditions, not exceeding 6 to 8 feet in depth, it is usually more economical to slope the
trench walls.

The current average cost for a backhoe with operator is $95.90 per hour. Some trenching contractors
additionally charge $25.00 move-on and $25.00 move-off costs, particularly for small projects.

Total trenching, backfill and compaction costs are calculated by multiplying the backhoe hours from the
following charts by $95.90 per hour, and adding move-on and move-off charges, if applicable.

Budget Estimates for Plumbing and HVAC Work

General contractors and owners often ask mechanical subcontractors to prepare budget cost estimates
for use in planning projects. A budget estimate isn’t a bid for the contract and you probably won’t be
paid for preparing the estimate. That’s why you won’t want to spend too much time on these estimates.
Accuracy within 8 to 10 percent of the final bid price will usually be acceptable. Normally you’ll have
only preliminary architectural drawings and possibly a guide specification to work from. The tables that
follow will help you prepare budget estimates for nearly any plumbing or HVAC job.

The costs in these tables are averages and will vary considerably with design requirements and by
geographic area. Make it clear to the owner or architect requesting the figures that these are budget
estimates and will be revised when final plans and specifications are available.

Budget Estimates for Plumbing: First, count the number of plumbing fixtures. Multiply the number of
fixtures of each type by the price per fixture shown in the table below. These prices include all the usual
labor and material for a complete average plumbing installation. Prices are based on branch piping
lengths averaging 35 feet between the fixture and the main. Typical main piping is also included in the
prices.

Budget Estimates for HVAC Work: Budget estimates for heating, ventilating and air conditioning work
are figured by the square foot of floor. Multiply the area of conditioned space by the cost per square foot
in the table that follows. The result is the estimated cost including a complete heating, ventilating and
air conditioning system and 20 percent overhead and profit. The table also shows average heating and
cooling requirements for various types of buildings.

Note that these are budget estimates and can vary widely with conditions which may be unique to the
job site. Many of these conditions are identified below. Avoid submitting even a budget estimate without
either a site walk-through, a conference with the consulting engineer or architect or a careful review of
the plans.

Be alert to any of the following conditions. Any of these can have a major impact on cost:

1. Do HVAC unit dimensions exceed the size of available openings?


2. If a crane is required, is there ample clearance for crane operations?
3. Will any doors, permanent ladders, scaffolding or load-bearing supports obstruct installation?
4. Do the plans show all vents, drains and cleanouts required by the code? Many items like these are
not specified by the engineer but will be required by the inspector.
5. For retrofit work, consider carefully problems associated with demolition, including removal of the
existing HVAC system, structural modifications and any encased asbestos that may be present.
6. In retrofit jobs, the type and size of HVAC equipment is limited by the window area and installed
insulation.
7. How will available power, gas and water lines be extended to the new HVAC equipment?

Change Estimates

Very few projects are completed without some changes to the original plans. Most changes in the
scope of work are a result of either errors by the designer or requests by the owner.

Here's the usual sequence in handling changes.

1) The project architect usually initiates a change by sending a Request for Quotation (R.F.Q.) to the
general contractor with a detailed description of the work to be modified.

2) The general contractor prepares a Change Estimate (C.E.) if the work is to be done by the
general.

3) The subcontractor prepares a change estimate which shows the work to be added to or deleted
from the contract and the cost of changes, including markup. The general contractor reviews the change
estimate and forwards a summary to the architect for decision.

4) If the decision is to go ahead with the change, the architect issues a Change Order (C.O.) to the
general contractor. This change order is authorization to proceed with the change at the price quoted.

Your costs for making changes will normally be higher than your costs for similar items on the original
estimate. Here's why:
2020 National Plumbing & HVAC Estimator, All Rights Reserved Page 438 (part 2)

• Equipment and materials for changes are almost always purchased in smaller
quantities. Volume discounts are seldom available.

• Special handling and delivery of small orders will further increase equipment
and material costs.

• Scheduled work will be disrupted.

• Overhead costs will be higher because special purchase orders or subcontracts


will be required.

• Vendor restocking charges for deleted items will range from 20 to 50 percent
of the original cost.
2020 National Plumbing & HVAC Estimator, All Rights Reserved Page 439

• Large change orders may require additional manpower, which usually results in
decreased efficiency.

• The cumulative effect of change orders will be to increase overhead costs if the
project completion date is extended.

To compensate for these higher costs, most estimators use a higher markup on
change estimates:

• Add an extra 10 percent markup to equipment and material costs to cover


increased over-head and handling costs, prior to adding final O&P markup.

• Increase competitive labor units (manhours required to perform a specific task)


by 15 percent to compensate for inefficiencies such as disruptions in the work
schedule, extra handling of equipment and material, and additional manpower.

• Mark up subcontractor prices by 10 percent.

• Figure overhead and profit markup at 15/10 or 10/10.

By following these suggestions, the mathematical gross profit will appear to be 40 to 45 percent, but the
true gross will be closer to 25 percent because your costs for change order work are higher, as listed
above.

Change Estimate Example

Let's assume that the general contractor on your job has sent a R.F.Q. to your attention. The extra work
is a run of hot water piping that will connect to equipment being furnished and set by others. The first
step is to list all material and labor required to do the work. Notice the items entered on the Change
Estimate Take-off form on page 435.

When the take-off is complete, transfer the manhour total to the Change Estimate Worksheet on page
440. To complete this form:

1) Multiply manhours by the cost per hour.

2) Add the cost of supervision.

3) Total direct labor cost.

4) Add the cost of preparing the change order estimate (C.E.).

5) Add equipment and tool costs.

6) Add subcontract costs.

Then bring totals forward to the Change Estimate Summary on page 442:

1) Enter the material cost total from the Change Estimate Take-off form on page 444.

2) Enter direct and indirect labor cost totals from the Change Estimate Worksheet.

3) Enter equipment, tool and subcontract cost totals from the Change Estimate Worksheet.
2020 National Plumbing & HVAC Estimator, All Rights Reserved Page 439 (part 2)

Notice the additional bond charge on line M of the Change Estimate Summary. This is the extra

Subcontract Forms

Another term for the general contractor is prime contractor. Subcontractors working directly for the
prime contractor are called second-tier subcontractors. Contractors working for these second-tier subs
are usually known as third-tier subcontractors. On a large job, many second-tier subs may hire third-tier
subs to perform specialized work such as insulation, fireproofing, test and balance, water treatment,
instrumentation and trenching.

If a portion of your work will be subcontracted to others, I recommend drawing up a subcontract


agreement for that work. Any subcontractors who furnish both material and labor for a job should have a
written contract.

Most larger plumbing, heating and A/C subcontractors use a two-part Standard Form Subcontract
published by the Associated General Contractors of America. This two-part form is used to write the
base subcontract. The A.G.C. also publishes a Subcontract Change Order form which is used when
adding or deleting items after the base subcontract is signed. These forms are sold at modest cost at
most A.G.C. offices.

The first section of page one of the Standard Form Subcontract identifies the two contractors entering
into the agreement. The party issuing the subcontract is the contractor. Recipient of the agreement is
the subcontractor.

Under Recitals, the contractor must affirm the right to issue a subcontract by declaring that a legal
contract exists with the owner (general contractor).

Section 1 - Entire Contract describes the contract documents: the project plans, specifications and
addenda. This list of documents should always be the same as the documents identified in the
second-tier subcontractor's contract with the general contractor.

Section 2 - Scope describes the specific scope of work to be performed.

Section 3 - Contract Price. Complete this section by inserting the agreed-upon price for doing the work
described.

Section 4 - Payment Schedule on page two should show the same payment terms as your contract
with the general contractor.

Section 7 - Special Provisions is used to list any special agreements or exclusions.

When the contract is typed, do not sign it. Instead, forward it to the third-tier subcontractor with
instructions to sign it and return it intact. When the signed contract is received, sign it and send a copy
to the third-tier subcontractor.

Purchase Order

A purchase order is a legal document used to order equipment and materials from a vendor, with the
implied promise to pay for these goods within a specified time after receipt of the items. Purchase
orders are sometimes used to write subcontracts whose value does not exceed one or two thousand
dollars. Refer to the sample purchase order on page 452.

While most of the purchase order is self-explanatory, certain items need to be emphasized:

"Description" should include all pertinent data such as model numbers, arrangements, performance
requirements, applicable standards, electrical characteristics and so on.

"Tag" is used to identify a particular piece of equipment to facilitate unloading it at the proper location at
the jobsite. Tag numbers for all major equipment can usually be found on the contract drawings.

"48 hour delivery notice": This can be very important if the material or equipment being delivered is too
heavy to be unloaded by hand. Time will be required to arrange for a crane or forklift to unload the truck.

"Sales tax" is the current state sales tax which must be included unless the goods are to be delivered
and installed at a project located out-of-state.

"Terms": The usual payment terms are "Net 30" which means the entire amount of the purchase order
must be paid within thirty days after receipt of all goods, undamaged. If items are received damaged,
payment should be withheld until satisfactory repair or replacement is made.

Construction Schedules

The general contractor's construction schedule may range from a simple bar chart to a complicated
computer-generated CPM (Critical Path Method) diagram. More complex jobs require more complete
and detailed schedules. On larger jobs, lower-tier subcontractors may be required to prepare a bar chart
showing their construction schedule.

If you have to prepare a construction schedule, make conservative estimates of the time required to
complete each part of the job. A slower schedule makes it possible to use smaller crews which are
usually more efficient.

You can't schedule your own work until the general contractor has supplied a schedule for the balance
of the project. When you have that schedule, prepare a list of tasks your crews will perform. Show this
list to the general contractor to be certain there are no conflicts with the master schedule.

When the list of tasks to be performed has been approved, begin recording the manhours required for
each task. Take these manhours from your estimate. When the duration for each task has been
determined, figure the crew sizes required.

For example, suppose the estimate shows that it will take 1,040 manhours to install the underground
plumbing for a project. The work must be completed in two months. Assuming one worker averages 173
hours of work in one month, how many workers will be required to meet the schedule? Here's the
solution:

1,040 manhours
------------------------------------ = 3 workers
173 MH/Mo. x 2 months

The first of the two bar charts on the following pages shows the schedule a general contractor might
expect to receive from a plumbing and HVAC subcontractor. The chart on page 449 is intended for use
by the subcontractor. It includes information a mechanical subcontractor needs to determine proper
crew sizes for each task. The Cumulative Manhours line shows the budgeted manhours for each month
of the project. If labor costs are to be kept within budget, actual hours should not exceed estimated
hours. Monitor labor costs each month by comparing the line Actual MH Used (actual manhours used)
with the line Cumulative MH (estimated cumulative manhours).

Letter of Intent

On most larger projects the contractor is required to submit drawings and technical data to the owner's
representative for approval before work actually begins. Most of these submittals will be prepared by
your suppliers and third-tier subs. Vendors and subs may be reluctant to prepare these documents
without some assurance that they've been selected to do the work. That's the purpose of a letter of
intent. It notifies a proposed vendor or subcontractor that you plan to contract with them when the owner
approves the information submitted.

A letter of intent isn't a contract. It's an expressed intention to make a contract, which isn't a contract at
all. But a vendor who gets your letter of intent and supplies all the information requested should get the
contract. If you place the order with a different vendor, obviously, your letter of intent was worthless. That
first vendor may be very reluctant to cooperate in the future.

A sample letter of intent follows this section.

Smallville.

It is my intention to award your firm a subcontract to provide the thermal insulation for these systems in
accordance with your proposal dated 12-13-18 in the amount of $42,300.00.

Please prepare ten copies of your submittal data and forward them to me no later than January 15,
2018. Upon approval of your submittal, I will mail you the subcontract for your review and signature.

Thank you,

Bobby Thompson
Project Manager

Submittal Data

The construction specifications may require that you submit manufacturer's technical data on certain
equipment you plan to install. You may have to submit six to ten copies of this technical data for
approval before buying the equipment or contracting with third-tier subcontractors.

First, find out how many submittal copies will be required. Request that number of copies plus at least
two additional sets for your use. A subcontractor who provides only services (no materials) may have to
submit a detailed written explanation of the work to be done.

The second step is to label each submittal with the paragraph number of the specification where that
equipment, material or service is described. Type or write this number in the upper right corner of each
submittal sheet. From this set of numbered submittals, prepare a submittal index, a list of submittals
identified by title and paragraph number. This index should be arranged in specification paragraph order.
A blank submittal index form follows this section.

I prefer to use a three-ring binder to hold submittals. That makes it easier to add and delete sections as
needed. Be sure to include a cover sheet, usually on company letterhead, which identifies the project,
job number and scope of work being submitted. A sample submittal cover sheet follows this section.

Purchase orders and subcontracts should not be written until an approved copy of the submittal
brochure has been received.

Billing Breakdown Worksheet

The format to be used for monthly progress billings is seldom specified in the contract documents. In
any case, your bill has to include enough detail to satisfy the owner and the lender.

Before preparing your bill, ask the general contractor how much detail is required. Some general
contractors will want detailed cost breakdowns showing costs for each system on each building floor.
Others will require much less detail.

Find out if billings can include the cost of equipment and materials delivered and stored either on site or
off site but not yet installed. If billings can include materials stored off site, do these materials have to
be stored in a bonded warehouse? Do vendor's invoices have to accompany progress billings?

When you understand what's required for monthly progress billings, prepare a billing breakdown
worksheet. A sample worksheet follows this section.

Column one, Activity Lists each work item in the order work will be performed. The first item listed will
usually be mobilization. This includes the cost of the job site trailer, electrical and telephone hookups,
office furniture and supplies and initial labor costs. Billings for mobilization costs are sometimes denied
by the lender. Many contractors minimize these costs to increase the chance of approval. It's better to
receive partial payment for these costs than none at all.

Column two, Cost ($) Lists the actual contractor's costs for each activity, including labor, material,
equipment and sales taxes. Markup for overhead and profit are not included.

Column three, Factor This column shows the markup assigned to each activity. Activities scheduled
to be completed first are usually assigned the highest markups. This is called front loading and is
common in the construction industry. Most bills won't be paid for 30 to 60 days. When the bill is paid,
the amount received probably won't include the percentage allowed for retention. Generally, retention is
10 percent and isn't released until the project is complete and accepted by the owner.

Front loading helps contractors carry the financial burden of work in progress. Few subcontractors have
enough cash to pay all their bills when due and still wait months to collect for work that's been
completed. Employees have to be paid in full and on time. Assigning a higher markup to work
completed first accelerates the payment schedule and helps spread payments more evenly over the
entire project. Front loading is routine with subcontractors and unpopular with owners and lenders. In
practice, subcontractors have no choice but to place a higher price or higher markup on work completed
first.

Note that figures in the Factor column are less than 1.0 for work done near the end of the project. That's
because front loading doesn't change the contract price. It changes only when that money is received.

Column four, Sell ($) Values for this column are the product of the cost and factor columns. Use the
figures in this column when submitting monthly progress invoices.
