Assumptions: Calculator estimates are for planning purposes. Typical US presets below are illustrative; adjust to your firm's means & methods, market, and local code/tax rules.
- Materials priced per contact ft² and adjusted by reuse cycles and waste.
- Labor computed from crew hourly cost and productivity (ft² per crew-hour).
- City Cost Index (CCI) multiplies materials, labor, and equipment to reflect local market conditions.
- Sales tax by default applies to materials only. Tick "Apply tax to total" to tax subtotal + O&P.
