Prints and Drawings Costs

Construction ITEM DESCRIPTION

Time spent on blueprints and other project drawings.

This unit cost definitely applies to design-build construction projects. It's also useful if you need to prepare informal drawings on smaller construction projects.

Labor Costs

The unit cost is just one hour of supervisor time. Enter an estimate number of hours for project drawings (it might be anywhere from 1 to several hundred hours depending on the size and complexity of the project).

Material Costs

None

Suggested Quantity

None. We never really came up with a decent "rule of thumb" for this. It varies so much depending on project details.

Source of Construction Pricing

There is not much construction logic built into this one!

Places Included

Architect Starter File, Construction Starter File, Developer Starter File, Metric Starter File

Comments

Those doing design-build work may want to duplicate this assembly and add some more specific line items for different types of drawings.

There may be some "rules of thumb" for estimating construction project drawings, but we never came up with one.
