Special Endorsements Certified Lead-Based Paint Renovation Contractors that perform renovations on target housing or child-occupied facilities are required to hold a certified Lead-Based Paint Renovation (LBPR) Contractor's License. A renovation refers to the modifying of an existing structure (or portion of the structure) that disturbs the painted surface. Renovations do not include minor repairs and maintenance. Another way to look at this is that renovations do not include any modifications that disrupt less than 6 square feet of an interior painted area, or that disrupt less than 20 square feet of a painted exterior surface. Target housing is housing built before 1978. This doesn't include housing for the elderly or persons with disabilities; or housing with no bedrooms. Child-occupied facilities are buildings that are regularly used by the same child under age 6. Child-occupied facilities can include the following.

Day care centers Preschools Kindergarten classrooms Restrooms commonly used by children under age 6 Child-occupied facilities usually don't include the following. Sunday school classrooms (used only weekly) Supermarkets (visits less than 3 hours; not same child) Hallways in public schools

1. Estimate Labor Costs for Each Task Labor cost is one of the most difficult aspects of estimating. Your own historical data is the best source because it reflects your local market labor and wages data. There are published sources for assistance in estimating labor, such as the RSMeans cost data series, but there is no substitute for your actual experience. For each labor item in your estimating framework, apply this formula to arrive at your labor cost: Required Labor Hours per Task x Labor Rate = Labor Cost per Task Items and variables to keep in mind include: Employee skill level Size of crew to be used Anticipated weather conditions Time spent planning and scheduling Do not overlook the value here of your own historical cost data. The better you track and retain your labor (and other) costs, the faster and more accurate your estimating process should be. See below for more on developing a cost-tracking system.

Quantity Take-off Method 1. Estimate Labor Costs for Each Task Overtime Wages are paid to employees based on a 40 hour work week. If the project is a prevailing wage project, overtime pay is required after 8 hours a day unless there is a special agreement.

Once the phases have been settled on, it's time to consider the specific tasks and materials that will be needed to complete each phase. This is the time to get very specific. As mentioned above, the good estimator is shooting to predict their costs with 1-2% of actual construction costs, so anything left out at this point is going to throw off your final estimate. The more specific you are, the easier it will be to predict other potential add-ons such as overtime.

Technology has simplified construction estimating, just as it has many other daily tasks. There's a wide selection of software packages available that can expedite the process, and even help you remember all the items that you need to take into consideration. Advantages to estimating software include: Quicker turnaround Improved accuracy Clean, professional presentation for the client Provide databases for unit cost items such as labor and materials Selection of presentation formats Tracking of historical information Ability to recall and update previous project estimates Job-costing capabilities
