It contains a complete system to be used with or without computers. It also contains Quick Estimating sections for preliminary conceptual budget estimates by Architects, Engineers and Contractors. Square Foot Estimating is also included for preliminary estimates. The City Multiplier concept is provided to show the variations between metropolitan areas. This encompasses a majority of U.S. cities. This book is published annually to be historically accurate with the traditional May-July wage contract settlements and to be a true construction year estimating and cost guide. The Rate of Inflation in the Construction Industry in 2009 was 3%. Labor contributed a 5% increase and materials rose 1%. The Wage Rate for Skilled Trades increased an average of 5% in 2009. Wage rates will probably increase at a 5% average next year. The Material Rate increased 1% in 2009. There were a few increases in 2009. The runaway increases of the previous years softened and some materials such as asphalt, steel, lumber and wood products experienced reductions. Construction Volume should be down for 2010. Housing will decline yet again, and Industrial and Commercial Construction will be down to flat. Highway and Heavy Construction should rise with the stimulus monies finally hitting the market. The Construction Industry has low to moderate inflation. Some materials should inflate at a slower pace, and some should be watched carefully in 2010. We are recommending using an 4% increase in your estimates for work beyond July 1, 2009. HOW TO USE THIS BOOK Labor Columns Units include Workers Comp., Unemployment, and FICA on labor (approx. 35%).
