Review Labor Factors

In the database, each item is assigned a factor group from 1-5 depending on the type of installation conditions that are usually present for that type of item. Additionally, adjustment percentages are assigned to each factor group. When takeoff if performed, Accubid checks the factor group for each item and applies the appropriate percentage adjustment for the selected labor condition.

Other conditions or circumstances may warrant other labor factoring. As the Project Manager, you have a better understanding of what those conditions may entail; therefore, it is important to review the labor factors that went into calculating the labor. To review labor factoring:

1. Select the Labor Factoring tab.

2. Review the factor column (the percentage increase in labor for that activity), hours allotted, and the rate for each labor factor and make note of any changes.
