How It Calculates Results
The estimator calculates the total cost by considering the following:
- Total Material Cost = Project Size * Materials Cost
- Total Labor Cost = Project Size * Labor Cost
- Other Costs = Travel Cost + Design Fee
- Total Before Contingency = Total Material Cost + Total Labor Cost + Other Costs
- Contingency Amount = (Total Before Contingency * Contingency) / 100
- Total Estimated Cost = Total Before Contingency + Contingency Amount
Limitations
