This Book Is an Encyclopedia


of 2013 Building Costs

This Manual Has Two Parts; the Residential


Construction Division begins on page 17. Use the figures in this division when estimating the cost of homes
and apartments with a wood, steel or masonry frame.
The Industrial and Commercial Division begins on
page 311 and can be used to estimate costs for nearly
all construction not covered by the Residential
Division.
The Residential Construction Division is arranged
in alphabetical order by construction trade and type of
material. The Industrial and Commercial Division follows MasterFormatTM 2004. A complete index begins on
page 645.

Material Costs for each item are listed in the column headed Material. These are neither retail nor
wholesale prices. They are estimates of what most
contractors who buy in moderate volume will pay suppliers as of mid-2013. Discounts may be available for
purchases in larger volume.
Quarterly prices updates on the Web are free
and automatic all during 2013. Youll be prompted
when its time to collect the next update. A connection
to the Web is required.
Add Delivery Expense to the material cost for
other than local delivery of reasonably large quantities.
Cost of delivery varies with the distance from source of
supply, method of transportation, and quantity to be
delivered. But most material dealers absorb the delivery cost on local delivery (5 to 15 miles) of larger quantities to good customers. Add the expense of job site
delivery when it is a significant part of the material cost.

Material Costs

The 2013 National Construction Estimator lists estimated construction costs to general contractors performing the work with their own crews, as of mid-2013.
Overhead & profit are not included.

Residential Construction
Division begins on page 17

Industrial & Commercial


Division begins on page 311

Add Sales Tax when sales tax will be charged to


the contractor buying the materials.
Waste and Coverage loss is included in the
installed material cost. The cost of many materials per
unit after installation is greater than the purchase price
for the same unit because of waste, shrinkage or coverage loss during installation. For example, about 120
square feet of nominal 1" x 4" square edge boards will
be needed to cover 100 square feet of floor or wall.
There is no coverage loss with plywood sheathing, but
waste due to cutting and fitting will average about 6%.
Costs in the Material column of this book assume
normal waste and coverage loss. Small and irregular jobs
may require a greater waste allowance. Materials priced
without installation (with no labor cost) do not include an
allowance for waste and coverage except as noted.

Labor Costs

2013 National Construction Estimator

Labor Costs for installing the material or doing the


work described are listed in the column headed
Labor. The labor cost per unit is the labor cost per
hour multiplied by the manhours per unit shown after
the @ sign in the Craft@Hours column. Labor cost
includes the basic wage, the employers contribution to
welfare, pension, vacation and apprentice funds and all
tax and insurance charges based on wages. Hourly
labor costs for the various crafts are listed on page 10
(for the Residential Division) and page 312 (for the
Industrial and Commercial Division).
Hourly labor costs used in the Industrial and
Commercial Division are higher than those used in the

2013 National Estimator is an


electronic version of this book

Supervision Expense to the general contractor is


not included in the labor cost. The cost of supervision
and non-productive labor varies widely from job to job.
Calculate the cost of supervision and non-productive
labor and add this to the estimate.
Payroll Taxes and Insurance included in the labor
cost are itemized in the sections beginning on pages
186 and 288.
Manhours per Unit and the Craft performing the
work are listed in the Craft@Hrs column. Pages 7
through 9 explain the Craft@Hrs column. To find the
units of work done per man in an 8-hour day, divide 8
by the manhours per unit. To find the units done by a
crew in an 8-hour day, multiply the units per man per
8-hour day by the number of crew members.
Manhours Include all productive labor normally
associated with installing the materials described. This
will usually include tasks such as:
Unloading and storing construction materials, tools

and equipment on site.


truck on site at the beginning of the day.

Returning tools and equipment to a storage area or


Normal time lost for work breaks.

truck on site at the end of the day.

Planning and discussing the work to be performed.


Normal handling, measuring, cutting and fitting.

SA

Keeping a record of the time spent and work done.


Regular cleanup of construction debris.

Infrequent correction or repairs required because of

faulty installation.

Adjust the Labor Cost to the job you are figuring


when your actual hourly labor cost is known or can be
estimated. The labor costs listed on pages 10 and 312
will apply within a few percent on many jobs. But labor
costs may be much higher or much lower on the job
you are estimating.
If the hourly wage rates listed on page 10 or page
312 are not accurate, divide your known or estimated
cost per hour by the listed cost per hour. The result is
your adjustment for any figure in the Labor column for
that craft. See page 11 for more information on adjusting labor costs.
Adjust for Unusual Labor Productivity. Costs in
the labor column are for normal conditions: experienced craftsmen working on reasonably well planned
and managed new construction with fair to good productivity. Labor estimates assume that materials are
standard grade, appropriate tools are on hand, work
done by other crafts is adequate, layout and installation
4

Working conditions at the job site have a major


effect on labor cost. Estimating experience and careful
analysis can help you predict the effect of most
changes in working conditions. Obviously, no single
adjustment will apply on all jobs. But the adjustments
that follow should help you produce more accurate
labor estimates. More than one condition may apply on
a job.
Add 10% to 15% when working temperatures are

below 40 degrees or above 95 degrees.


Add 15% to 25% for work on a ladder or a scaffold,

in a crawl space, in a congested area or remote


from the material storage point.
Deduct 10% when the work is in a large open area

with excellent access and good light.


Add 1% for each 10 feet that materials must be lift-

ed above ground level.


Add 5% to 50% for tradesmen with below average

skills. Deduct 5% to 25% for highly motivated, highly skilled tradesmen.

PL

Moving tools and equipment from a storage area or

are relatively uncomplicated, and working conditions


dont slow progress.

Residential Division, reflecting the fact that craftsmen


on industrial and commercial jobs are often paid more
than craftsmen on residential jobs.

Deduct 10% to 20% when an identical task is

repeated many times for several days at the same


site.

Add 30% to 50% on small jobs where fitting and

matching of materials is required, adjacent surfaces


have to be protected and the job site is occupied
during construction.

Add 25% to 50% for work done following a major

flood, fire, earthquake, hurricane or tornado while


skilled tradesmen are not readily available. Material
costs may also be higher after a major disaster.
Add 10% to 35% for demanding specs, rigid inspec-

tions, unreliable suppliers, a difficult owner or an


inexperienced architect.
Use an Area Modification Factor from pages 12
through 15 if your material, hourly labor or equipment
costs are unknown and cant be estimated.
Heres how: Use the labor and material costs in this
manual without modification. Then add or deduct the
percentage shown on pages 12 through 15 to estimated costs to find your local estimated cost.

Equipment Costs
Equipment Costs for major equipment (such as
cranes and tractors) are listed in the column headed
Equipment. Costs for small tools and expendable
supplies (such as saws and tape) are usually considered overhead expense and do not appear in the
Equipment cost column.

Subcontracted Work
Subcontractors do most of the work on construction projects. Thats because specialty contractors can
often get the work done at competitive cost, even after
adding overhead and profit.

You wouldnt bid a job under those conditions. And


we dont claim that all construction is done at these prices.
Estimating Is an Art, not a science. On many jobs
the range between high and low bid will be 20% or
more. Theres room for legitimate disagreement on
what the correct costs are, even when complete plans
and specifications are available, the date and site are
established, and labor and material costs are identical
for all bidders.
No cost fits all jobs. Good estimates are custom
made for a particular project and a single contractor
through judgment, analysis and experience.
This book is not a substitute for judgment, analysis
and sound estimating practice. Its an aid in developing
an informed opinion of cost. If youre using this book as
your sole cost authority for contract bids, youre reading more into these pages than the editors intend.

PL

Many sections of this book cover work usually


done by subcontractors. If you see the word subcontract in a section description, assume that costs are
based on quotes by subcontractors and include typical
subcontractor markup (about 30% on labor and 15%
on material). Usually no material or labor costs will
appear in these sections. The only costs shown will be
in the Total column and will include all material, labor
and equipment expense.

How Accurate Are These Figures? As accurate


as possible considering that the estimators who wrote
this book dont know your subcontractors or material
suppliers, havent seen the plans or specifications,
dont know what building code applies or where the job
is, had to project material costs at least 6 months into
the future, and had no record of how much work the
crew that will be assigned to the job can handle.

Equipment costs are based on rental rates listed in


the section beginning on page 323 and assume that
the equipment can be used productively for an entire
8-hour day. Add the cost of moving equipment on and
off the site. Allow for unproductive time when equipment cant be used for the full rental period. For example, the equipment costs per unit of work completed will
be higher when a tractor is used for 4 hours during a
day and sits idle for the remaining 4 hours. Generally,
an 8-hour day is the minimum rental period for most
heavy equipment. Many sections describe the equipment being used, the cost per hour and a suggested
minimum job charge.

Markup

SA

If you dont see the word subcontract in a section


description, assume that costs are based on work done
by a general contractors crew. No markup is included
in these costs. If the work is done by a subcontractor,
the specialty contractor may be able to perform the
work for the cost shown, even after adding overhead
and profit.

The General Contractors Markup is not included


in any costs in this book. On page 210 we suggest a
20% markup on the contract price for general contractors handling residential construction. Apply this markup
or some figure you select to all costs, including both
subcontract items and work done by your own crews.
To realize a gross profit of 20% on the contract
price, youll have to mark up costs by 25%. See page
210 for an example of how markup is calculated.
Markup includes overhead and profit and may be the
most difficult item to estimate.

Keep In Mind
Labor and Material Costs Change. These costs
were compiled in the fall of 2012 and projected to mid2013 by adding 3% to 6%. This estimate will be accurate for some materials but inaccurate for others. No
one can predict material price changes accurately.

Use These Figures to compile preliminary estimates, to check your costs and subcontract bids and
when no actual costs are available. This book will
reduce the chance of error or omission on bid estimates, speed ball park estimates, and be a good
guide when theres no time to get a quote.
Where Do We Get These Figures? From the
same sources all professional estimators use: contractors and subcontractors, architectural and engineering
firms, material suppliers, material price services, analysis of plans, specifications, estimates and completed
project costs, and both published and unpublished cost
studies. In addition, we conduct nationwide mail and
phone surveys and have the use of several major
national estimating databases.

Craft Codes, Hourly Costs


and Crew Compositions

Who will do the work (the craft code)


An @ symbol which means at
How long the work will take (manhours).

For example, on page 51 you'll find estimates for


installing BC plywood wall sheathing by the square
foot. The Craft@Hrs column opposite " plywood wall
sheathing shows:
B1@.016
That means we estimate the installation rate for
crew B1 at .016 manhours per square foot. That's the
same as 16 manhours per 1,000 square feet.

PL

The table that follows defines each of the craft


codes used in this book. Notice that crew B1 is composed of two craftsmen: one laborer and one carpenter.

To install 1,000 square feet of " BC wall sheathing at


.016 manhours per square foot, that crew would need
16 manhours (one 8-hour day for a crew of two).
Notice also in the table below that the cost per
manhour for crew B1 is listed as $32.53. That's the
average for a residential laborer (listed at $29.05 per
hour on page 10) and a Residential carpenter (listed at
$36.01 per hour): $29.05 plus $36.01 is $65.06. Divide
by 2 to get $32.53, the average cost per manhour for
crew B1.
In the table below, the cost per manhour is the sum
of hourly costs of all crew members divided by the
number of crew members. Thats the average cost per
manhour.
Costs in the Labor column in this book are the
installation time (in manhours) multiplied by the cost
per manhour. For example, on page 51 the labor cost
listed for " BC wall sheathing is $0.52 per square foot.
That's the installation time (.016 manhours per square
foot) multiplied by $32.53, the average cost per manhour for crew B1.

Hourly Labor Cost


The labor costs shown in Column 6 were used to
compute the manhour costs for crews on page 7 and
the figures in the Labor column of the Residential
Division of this manual. Figures in the Labor column
of the Industrial and Commercial Division of this book
were computed using the hourly costs shown on page
312. All labor costs are in U.S. dollars per manhour.
Its important that you understand whats included
in the figures in each of the six columns above. Heres
an explanation:
Column 1, the base wage per hour, is the craftsmans hourly wage. These figures are representative of

10

36.77
36.41
27.98

what many contractors will be paying craftsmen working on residential construction in 2013.
Column 2, taxable fringe benefits, includes vacation pay, sick leave and other taxable benefits. These
fringe benefits average 5.15% of the base wage for
many construction contractors. This benefit is in addition to the base wage.
Column 3, insurance and employer taxes in percent, shows the insurance and tax rate for construction
trades. The cost of insurance in this column includes
workers compensation and contractors casualty and
liability coverage. Insurance rates vary widely from
state to state and depend on a contractors loss experience. Typical rates are shown in the Insurance sec-

tion of this manual beginning on page 186. Taxes are


itemized in the section on page 288. Note that taxes
and insurance increase the hourly labor cost by 30 to
35% for most trades. There is no legal way to avoid
these costs.

10. Continuing with our example, well use 31.83%, the


rate for carpenters in column 3 on page 10. To increase
the annual taxable wage by 31.83%, well multiply by
1.3183:

Column 4, insurance and employer taxes in dollars, shows the hourly cost of taxes and insurance for
each construction trade. Insurance and taxes are paid
on the costs in both columns 1 and 2.

$20,800 per year


x 1.3183 tax & insurance rate

Column 5, non-taxable fringe benefits, includes


employer paid non-taxable benefits such as medical
coverage and tax-deferred pension and profit sharing
plans. These fringe benefits average 4.55% of the base
wage for many construction contractors. The employer
pays no taxes or insurance on these benefits.

$27,421 annual cost


Then add the cost of non-taxable benefits.
Suppose your company has no pension or profit sharing plan but does provide medical insurance for
employees. Assume that the cost for your carpenter is
$343.67 per month or $4,124 per year.
$4,124 medical plan
+ 27,421 annual cost

Column 6, the total hourly cost in dollars, is the


sum of columns 1, 2, 4, and 5.

$31,545 total annual cost


Divide this total annual cost by the actual hours
worked in a year. This gives the contractors total
hourly labor cost including all benefits, taxes and insurance. Assume your carpenter will work 2,000 hours a
year:

These hourly labor costs will apply within a few


percent on many jobs. But wage rates may be much
higher or lower in some areas. If the hourly costs
shown in column 6 are not accurate for your work,
develop modification factors that you can apply to the
labor costs in this book. The following paragraphs
explain the procedure.

PL

$31,545
2,000

Adjusting Labor Costs

Heres how to customize the labor costs in this


book if your wage rates are different from the wage
rates shown on page 10 or 311.

SA

Start with the taxable benefits you offer. Assume


craftsmen on your payroll get one week of vacation
each year and one week of sick leave each year.
Convert these benefits into hours. Your computation
might look like this:
40 vacation hours
+ 40 sick leave hours
80 taxable leave hours

Then add the regular work hours for the year:


2,000 regular hours
+ 80 taxable benefit hours
2,080 total hours
Multiply these hours by the base wage per hour. If
you pay carpenters $10.00 per hour, the calculation
would be:
2,080 hours
x $10.00 per hour
$20,800 per year
Next determine the tax and insurance rate for each
trade. If you know the rates that apply to your jobs, use
those rates. If not, use the rates in column 3 on page

= $15.77 per hour

Finally, find your modification factor for the labor


costs in this book. Divide your total hourly labor cost by
the total hourly labor cost shown on page 10. For the carpenter in our example, the figure in column 6 is $36.01.
$15.77
$36.01

= .44

Your modification factor is 44%. Multiply any building carpenter (Craft Code BC) labor costs in the
Residential Division of this book by .44 to find your estimated cost. For example, on page 24 the labor cost for
installing an 18" long towel bar is $10.00 per each bar.
If installed by your carpenter working at $10.00 per
hour, your estimated cost would be 44% of $10.00 or
$4.40. The manhours would remain the same @.280,
assuming normal productivity.

If the Labor Rate Is Unknown


On some estimates you may not know what labor
rates will apply. In that case, use both labor and material figures in this book without making any adjustment.
When all labor, equipment and material costs have
been compiled, add or deduct the percentage shown in
the area modification table on pages 12 through 15.
Adjusting the labor costs in this book will make
your estimates much more accurate.

11

Area Modification Factors


Construction costs are higher in some areas than
in other areas. Add or deduct the percentages shown
on the following pages to adapt the costs in this book
to your job site. Adjust your cost estimate by the appropriate percentages in this table to find the estimated
cost for the site selected. Where 0% is shown, it means
no modification is required.

or province. Figures for three-digit zips are the average


of all five-digit zips in that area. Figures in the Total column are the weighted average of factors for Labor,
Material and Equipment.
The National Estimator program will apply an area
modification factor for any five-digit zip you select. Click
Utilities. Click Options. Then select the Area Modification Factors tab.

Modification factors are listed alphabetically by


state and province. Areas within each state are listed
alphabetically. For convenience, one representative city
is identified in each three-digit zip or range of zips.
Percentages are based on the average of all data
points in the table. Factors listed for each state and
province are the average of all data points in that state

Arbitration and Mediation Fees These are administrative fees paid to the American Arbitration
Association (AAA). Rules and fees are subject to change. The AAAs web site at www.adr.org has current
rules and fee information. Fees charged by Construction Dispute Resolution Services
(http://www.constructiondisputes-cdrs.com) will usually be less. Arbitrators are chosen from the National Roster
of Construction Arbitrators and are paid a fee by the parties. Legal representation, if desired (although
not necessary), is at the expense of each party. These fees do not include rental of a hearing room. An
initial filing fee is payable in full by a filing party when a claim, counterclaim or additional claim is filed. A
case service fee is payable at the time the first hearing is scheduled. This fee will be refunded at the
conclusion of the case if no hearings have occurred so long as the Association was notified of
cancellation at least 24 hours before the first scheduled hearing. The minimum AAA filing fee for any
case having three or more arbitrators is $2,750 plus a $1,000 case service fee.

Building Permit Fees Fees are set by each jurisdiction and can vary widely. Building departments publish
current fee schedules. The permit fee will usually be doubled when work is started without securing a permit.
When the valuation of the proposed construction exceeds $1,000, plans are usually required. Estimate the
plan check fee at 65% of the permit fee for residences and 100% of the permit fee for non-residential
buildings. Estimate the fee for reinspection at $100 per hour. Inspections outside normal business hours are
about $100 per hour with a two hour minimum. Estimate the fee for additional plan review required by
changes, additions or revisions to approved plans at $100 per hour with a one-half hour minimum. Plumbing,
electrical and mechanical work will usually require a separate permit based on a similar fee schedule.
Valuations are based on a table published by the I.C.C. at: http://www.iccsafe.org/cs/Documents/BVD/BVD-0212.pdf.
The minimum fee for construction values to $500 is $70.00
$500 to $2,000, for the first $500
each extra $100 or fraction, to $2,000
$2,000 to $25,000, for the first $2,000

Piecework Rough Carpentry Rough carpentry on residential tracts is usually done by framing
subcontractors who bid at piecework rates (such as per square foot of floor). The figures below list
typical piecework rates for repetitive framing work and assume all materials are supplied to the framing
subcontractor. No figures appear in the Craft@Hrs column because the work is done for a fixed price
per square foot and the labor productivity can be expected to vary widely.
Layout and plating Piecework rates
Lay out wall plates according to the plans (snap chalk lines for wall plates, mark location for studs,
windows, doors and framing details), cut top and bottom plates and install bottom plates. Costs per
square foot of floor (excluding garage).

Steel framing rule of thumb Light-gauge steel framing cost per square foot of living area. These
figures will apply on most crawl space and basement homes. Labor and material cost will be about 30%
less for framing over a slab on grade. Complex framing jobs will cost more. The seven lines of cost data
under Steel framing rule of thumb cost breakdown below show the cost breakdown for framing a
medium cost house. Add $1.50 to $3.00 per SF of floor if engineer approval is required (plans not based
on code tables). Material cost assumes precut materials fastened with screws. Labor cost includes
layout, assembly, plumb and align.

Piecework Steel Framing Steel framing on residential tracts is sometimes done by subcontractors who bid at piecework rates (such as per square foot of floor). The figures below list typical
piecework rates for repetitive framing and assume all materials are supplied to the framing
subcontractor. No figures appear in the Craft@Hrs column because the work is done for a fixed price
per square foot and the labor productivity can be expected to vary widely.

truck used for delivery of colored concrete. The usual practice is to provide one truck per day for delivery
of all colored concrete for a particular job. Cost will be based on the quantity of pigment required.
Pastels require one to two pounds of pigment per sack of cement. Greater color density may require up
to five pounds of pigment per cubic yard. Cost per cubic yard based on a 5-sack mix and one pound of
color per sack.

Cement and expanded polystyrene forms Similar to EPS forms above but with cement added to the
mix: Recycled polystyrene (85%) and concrete (15%) building blocks with a grid of internal chambers
designed to be placed either horizontally or vertically. Available brands are Rastra Block and Grid-WALL.
Once the panels are in place they are filled with concrete providing a high strength, fireproof structural
grid. Includes cement filling and grouting. When cut for odd sizes use per sq ft pricing.

Use to calculate concrete and rebar costs:


1.1 cubic yards of concrete are required to fill 100 square feet of Grid-WALL.
1 Grid-WALL block will take 8 ft. of rebar, unless engineered otherwise.

Concrete Formwork Multiple use of forms assumes that forms can be removed, partially disassembled and cleaned and that 75% of the form material can be reused. Costs include assembly, oiling,
setting, stripping and cleaning. Material costs in this section can be adjusted to reflect your actual cost
of lumber. Here's how: Divide your actual lumber cost per MBF by the assumed cost (listed in parentheses). Then multiply the cost in the material column by this adjustment factor. For expanded coverage
of concrete and formwork, see the National Concrete & Masonry Estimator at http://CraftsmanSiteLicense.com.

Concrete Footings, Grade Beams and Stem Walls Use the figures below for preliminary estimates.
Concrete costs are based on 2,000 PSI, 5.0 sack mix with 1" aggregate placed directly from the chute of
a ready-mix truck. Figures in parentheses show the cubic yards of concrete per linear foot of foundation
(including 5% waste). Costs shown include concrete, 60 pounds of reinforcing per CY of concrete, and
typical excavation using a 3/4 CY backhoe with excess backfill spread on site.

PL

Footings and grade beams Cast directly against the earth, no forming or finishing required. These
costs assume the top of the foundation will be at finished grade. For scheduling purposes estimate that
a crew of 3 can lay out, excavate, place and tie the reinforcing steel and place 13 CY of concrete in an
8-hour day. Use $900.00 as a minimum job charge.

Tricks of the trade: To estimate the cost of footing or grade beam sizes not shown, multiply the width in
inches by the depth in inches and divide the result by 3700. This is the CY of concrete per LF of footing
including 5% waste. Multiply by the Typical cost per CY in the prior table to find the cost per LF.

Continuous concrete footing with foundation stem wall These figures assume the foundation stem
wall projects 24" above the finished grade and extends into the soil 18" to the top of the footing. Costs
shown include typical excavation using a 3/4 CY backhoe with excess backfill spread on site, forming
both sides of the foundation wall and the footing, based on three uses of the forms and 2 #4 rebar. Use

Decks These costs assume 5/4" x 6" southern yellow pine decking, 2" x 8" redwood decking, 5/4" x 6"
recycled plastic lumber decking or 2" x 8" recycled composite lumber decking supported by #2 & better
2" x 8" pressure treated joists spaced 24" on center over 4" x 8" pressure treated beams. Beams are
supported by 4" x 4" pressure treated posts set 6' on center in concrete. Post length is assumed to be
2' above grade. Fasteners are 16d galvanized nails, galvanized steel joist hangers and post anchors.
Decking is spaced at 1/8" to permit drainage. Costs are based on a rectangular deck, with one side
fastened to an existing structure. Larger decks will reduce labor costs per square foot. Where better support
is required, add the cost of round concrete forms (Sonotubes) and additional framing fasteners. Deck 3'
above ground level with joists, beams, posts and hardware as described above and with decking material
as shown.

Wood Exterior Slab Doors Exterior doors are usually 1-3/4" thick and solid core a thin veneer laid
over a frame but with foam or composition board filling the door cavity. Flush doors are smooth and flat,
with no decorative treatment. Slab doors are the door alone, as distinguished from prehung doors which
are sold with jamb, hinges, trim and threshold attached. Installation times for slab doors will be up to
50% faster when an experienced carpenter has the use of a router, door jig and pneumatic nailer.
Flush hardboard exterior doors. Solid core. 1-3/4" thick. Primed and ready to paint. Hardboard doors are
made of composition wood veneer, usually the least expensive material available. Labor includes setting
three hinges on the door and jamb and hanging the door in an existing cased opening.

Interior Slab Doors Slab doors are the door alone, as distinguished from prehung doors which are sold
with jamb, hinges and trim attached and bored for the door latch. Interior doors are usually 1-3/8" thick
and have a hollow core. A wood frame made from stiles and rails is filled with a matrix of corrugated
paper and covered with a thin wood veneer. Stiles are vertical and every door has two, a lock stile and
the hinge stile. Rails run horizontally at the top and bottom of the door. Flush doors are smooth and flat,
with no decorative treatment.
Flush hardboard interior doors. Hollow core. Not bored for lockset. Ready to paint or stain. 1-3/8" thick.
Hardboard doors are made of composition wood veneer, usually the least expensive material available.

Residential computer wiring and network setup These costs are based on work done with wall
cavities exposed. Labor costs in existing dwellings will be up to four times higher if cable has to be
fished through enclosed walls. Single story homes use stranded wire. Multi story homes use solid wire
on vertical runs. Includes normal (5%) waste. Costs assume cable runs terminate at the point of phone or
cable service entry and that connections are made at a wall-mounted punch down block with RJ45
connectors. The local building code may require wire runs in conduit or use of plenum type cable.
Network cable, twisted pair category 5e, rated for 350 Mbps, material price based on 1,000' rolls. Add

Building Code Compliance for Contractors & Inspectors

An answer book for both contractors and building inspectors, this manual explains what it takes to pass inspections
under the 2009 International Residential Code. It includes a
code checklist for every trade, covering some of the most
common reasons why inspectors reject residential work
footings, foundations, slabs, framing, sheathing, plumbing,
electrical, HVAC, energy conservation and final inspection.
The requirement for each item on the checklist is
explained, and the code section cited so you can look it up or show it to
the inspector. Knowing in advance what the inspector wants to see gives
you an (almost unfair) advantage. To pass inspection, do your own preinspection before the inspector arrives. If your work requires getting permits and passing inspections, put this manual to work on your next job. If
youre considering a career in code enforcement, this can be your guidebook. 8 x 11, 232 pages, $32.50
