- ANS-"Boilerplate" is a term applied to conditions that tend to be predetermined and
automatically included in all of a business's contracts. The majority of these tend to be
disclaimers and legal protections regarding things such as mediation, arbitration, attorneys fees,
etc. Be certain to read these just as carefully because they can have a direct impact on any
legal actions that take place in the event of a problem.

- ANS-"Overlapping" of FMLA and OFLA with Workers' Compensation and ADA and Oregon
Disability Laws

- ANS-10. Calculate Your Markup and Profit Margin


Click To Enlarge


Now you are ready to add the finishing touch - your profit. Every estimate must include a profit,
otherwise what's the point?
Things to consider for a profit that will get you business and be enough to keep you in business,
include:
Your cost estimate
The customer's needs and expectations
Local market and competition
Desired profit margin
One of the most common methods for determining the final markup and, thereby, your bid, is
cost-based pricing. The basic formula for calculating through this method is:
Cost Estimate + Overhead + Profit Markup = Bid
In our current example, we have added the first two items and arrived at $11,364.00. Now we
need to figure what we want our profit margin to be, and we have our bid.
This is where knowledge of your market can give you a true competitive edge. Bid too low and
any unforeseen delays or added expenses can rapid

- ANS-3. Determine Materials Costs
For materials, you want to follow a similar process to the labor estimating. Working from your
estimate framework, calculate the cost for each material item listed. This is another area where
having your historical data available will be a huge help, however, you also need to stay abreast
of the market because material costs can fluctuate dramatically based on supply and demand/
availability.

, Your suppliers are the best source for current information. They can provide either per unit or
lump-sum costs to assist your estimate. Alternatively, the U.S. Bureau of Labor & Statistics
tracks the costs of major groups of construction materials in the Producer Price Index (PPI)
program.
If you receive the costs per unit, you can apply the following formula to help determine the
expected cost for each category of material:
Price per Unit x Number of Units Needed = Total Material Unit Cost
To ensure

- ANS-4. Calculate Project Equipment
Equipment costs generally are direct costs. Equipment specific to a project, e.g., rental of a
forklift, crane, backhoe, etc., specifically for the project is a direct cost and should be added to
your estimate. Small tools and company-owned vehicles that are used regularly for jobs and not
specific to a particular project are overhead and should not be included here.
There are different ways to calculate the direct cost depending on whether you own, rent,
subcontract, or lease.

- ANS-4. Calculate Project Equipment
Owned Equipment
Begin by determining the per unit cost, considering the following factors:
Actual value of equipment (including age, depreciation, etc.)
Maintenance and operating costs (e.g., fuel)
Taxes and fees
Labor to operate (including training or licensing if applicable)
Insurance
To calculate the cost for the project:
Estimate the number of hours per year the equipment is used
Determine the annual cost to own and operate the equipment
Divide the cost by the number of hours
Then multiply the hourly rate by the number of hours expected to be needed for this project
The formula looks like this:
Cost of equipment per year / Number of hours used per year = Cost
For example, a piece of equipment cost $10,000 per year to own and maintain. You use the
equipment 1000 hours per year. Your cost is $10 per hour. On this project you determine you
will need 50 hours of use of this equipment. Y
