Estimator Calculations

The calculations in the spreadsheet are quite simple, the Repair Cost Estimator uses your quantities of work that you provide and multiplies it by the unit costs to calculate the total Labor, Material & Subcontracted costs for that item and scope of work.
 
The estimate totals for each scope of work, labor material, subcontracted work & the entire project are then summarized at the top of the spreadsheet. 

Quantity x Unit Costs = Total Costs
