Page 225 - Estimators Piping Man Hour Manual

Section Ten

This section is presented for the purpose of showing the
work ability of a few of the man hour charts as appear
throughout this manual. It does not mean that a take-off
must be made in this manner before the man hour charts
will work. It is merely a suggested method.

You will note on the following take-off sheets at the top of
the page a predetermined composite rate, arrived at as out-
lined in the Introduction of this manual. Simply by multiply-
ing this composite rate by the total man hours involved, a
total estimated direct labor dollar value can be easily and
accurately obtained.

We do not show in this sample estimate any material cost,
nevertheless, you will find ample space provided for this
item. You will also find space provided for both unit and
total weights of pipe and fittings. We feel that this item has
much value such as an estimate check using the weight
method, or for the estimation of warehousing, equipment
usage and fabrication shop set-up.

We purposely have not included material, miscellaneous
supplies, equipment usage, overhead and profit in this esti-
mate. As is stated in the Preface of this manual, its sole
purpose is for the estimation of direct labor in man hours
only.
