Scaffold Plank Rental Cost

Construction ITEM DESCRIPTION

This construction unit cost covers the rental cost for scaffold planks.

Unit Size

The unit size is one scaffold plank rented for one day.

Labor Costs

We figure 1 unskilled hour per 100 plank-days (one plank for 100 days, 100 planks for one day, 10 planks for 10 days, etc). This time covers an average amount of setup, take-down and maintenance time for a typical project.

Material Costs

The cost includes rental costs for one scaffold plank, calculated as 1/30 of the monthly rental rate.

Suggested Quantity

We don't suggest a quantity for this item, since there is no construction dimension that is good at predicting the amount of scaffolding that is required for a project.

Source of Construction Pricing

Labor costs are based on our job cost numbers from a few projects. Material costs are based on local rentals.

Comments

If you own your own scaffolding, you can use this item as Assembly Labor so it covers typical setup and takedown labor but not the rental cost. You can also use the unit cost "as is" and figure that the rental amount will cover your repair costs and give you a return on your investment.
