CHAPTER 3

Labor Rate Schedules and Forms, Charts, and Diagrams

his section contains electrical construction materials and associated installation labor units along with a sample estimate of a combination office and warehouse. The estimate lays out the project in orderly steps, such as the installation of the projects incoming electric service. You should understand that in order to have service delivered to the project, a variety of electrical materials will be necessary. A power company will require raceways, drag lines, and grounding among related items. To prepare a coherent itemized quantity of material, you will need to review the contract documents including plans, specifications and all addendums that may be included. TAKEOFF: The estimator should begin the takeoff of all electrical materials required by examining all the plans including building, steel, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and communications plans. Review the specifications that help to describe the makeup of all the materials. After the estimator has reviewed the documents, a plan should be developed and the takeoff should begin. It is recommended that each section of the project should be listed on rough takeoff sheets and be assembled by sections (see sample estimate in Chapter 4). Consider counting and listing all of the items that would require a specific quotation price (e.g., sw. gear, panels, transformers, disconnect switches, lighting fix-

tures, civil work, life-safety systems, voice and data systems, etc.). This facilitates returns of quotations prior to the bid date. STEP 1:Review the fixture schedule, count the fixtures, and list them on a takeoff sheet along with the lamps, flexible whips, hangers, hold-down clips, fixture outlet boxes, and miscellaneous items. This allows the estimator to visit areas of the project and it familiarizes the estimator with the project, which will assist in the takeoff. After this section of the takeoff is on the estimate sheet, refer to the sections of the manual where the labor units are listed. Apply labor units as they relate to the fixtures listed on the estimate sheet. STEP 2: Follow STEP 1 for the remaining sections of the project, as the sample estimate would show (see Chapter 4). NOTE: The sample estimate does not include pricing, as each contractor will have their own pricing structure arrangements with their suppliers and market fluctuations. After the estimator has compiled all of the estimate sheets they will need to be listed on a separate estimate sheet referred to as a recap of estimate sheets. Next, the estimator will need to prepare a price quotations needed sheet. This should list all of the quotations that have been received from the various manufacturers of required equipment.

The final sheet will be the recapitulation sheet. Refer to the sample sheet for the final assembly of all the associated sheets (see Fig. 4-1A). Along with all of the sheets, the estimator should alert his superiors of all associated costs that will be required in the complete installation of the work required. The estimator should review the completion schedule and calculate the amount of workers whom will be required to complete the work contracted for and any nonproductive labor required. The actual costs of materials, labor, overhead, and profit will be determined by the estimators superiors. But, the estimator should be prepared to provide the necessary information to those who will have the final responsibility in developing the final selling price. Included here are blank forms for the estimator to use in preparing estimates.
