  1. Chapter 12 Pricing Masonry Carpentry, and Finishes Work

  2. Objectives • Upon completion of this chapter, you will be able to: • Describe the specific job factors that affect the price of masonry work • Explain what influences the material price of masonry bricks and blocks • Describe the specific job factors that affect the price of rough carpentry work

  3. Objectives (cont’d.) • Explain what influences the material price of lumber • Describe how finish carpentry is priced • Describe how interior and exterior finishes are priced

  4. Objectives (cont’d.) • Complete the recap and pricing of masonry work, rough carpentry, finish carpentry, and interior and exterior finishes using manual methods • Use Excel spreadsheets to price masonry work

  5. Introduction • Masonry work, rough carpentry, and finish carpentry • Commonly subcontracted • Still performed by some contractors • Specialized companies • May have questionable reliability record • Price errors

  6. Masonry • Labor costs • Laying masonry • Installing accessories • Ladder reinforcing and wall ties • Masonry materials • Modularization • Factory construction of masonry panels • Not common

  7. Masonry Productivity • Factors affecting productivity: • What is being built • Workmanship required • Size and weights of units • Mortar and bond used • Design complexity • Presence or lack of repetition • Availability of skilled trade workers

  8. Figure 12.1 Masonry Work Productivities (Delmar/Cengage Learning)

  9. Masonry Materials • Prices vary • Depend on requirements • Normally found in specifications • When not provided, based on materials agreed upon (e.g., materials defined in the bid) • Wastage • More materials delivered than used • Accounted for in takeoff quantities

  10. Rough Carpentry • Fabricated off-site • Assembled at the job site • Costs • Labor and material • Lumber or fabricated components • Cranes • Beams • Trusses

  11. Rough Carpentry Productivity • Factors affecting productivity: • Carpentry components • Size of cross-section and length lumber • Power tool use • Design complexity • Presence or lack of repetition • Off-site fabrication

  12. Rough Carpentry Materials • Specifications define: • Species • Use classification • Lumber grade • Softwood lumbar classifications: • Yard, structural, factory, and shop lumber • Rough, surfaced, and worked lumber • Boards, dimension, and timber

  13. Rough Carpentry Materials (cont’d.) • Lumber lengths and waste factors • Generally multiples of two feet • Waste factors still required • Lumber grades • Information on ability to meet requirements • Rough hardware • Mostly consists of nails • Other fasteners may also be required

  14. Finish Carpentry and Millwork • Pricing finish carpentry • Applying materials and labor prices to items measured in takeoff process • Productivity of labor crews • Influenced by job factors • Similar to rough carpentry

  15. Exterior and Interior Finishes • Procedure: • Measure quantity of each item of in takeoff • List takeoff items on a recap • Apply separate materials and labor prices • Material prices: • Determined by suppliers • Productivities: • Job, labor, and management factors

  16. Wage Rates • Basic hourly wages: • Masonry foreman: $43.00 • Mason: $39.00 • Equipment operator: $40.00 • Labor foreman: $33.00 • Laborer: $30.00

  17. Wage Rates (cont’d.) • Cement finisher: $37.00 • Carpentry foreman: $41.00 • Carpenter: $38.00 • Painter foreman: $37.00 • Painter: $34.00

  18. Examples • Masonry, Rough Carpentry and Finish Carpentry Recap and Pricing Notes Example 1—House • Refer to Figures 12.6 through 12.10 • Masonry Work Pricing Notes Example 2—Office/Warehouse Building • Refer to Figure 12.11

  19. Summary • This chapter reviewed pricing and influential pricing factors of: • Masonry work • Rough carpentry work • Finish carpentry work • Interior and exterior finishes
