Create a pricing recap sheet for the concrete walls quantified in Exercise 1 of Chapter 7. Using a current published database, price the material. Price the labor costs using the productivity factors, also from the reference, but with current wage rates for the trades in your state.

How do the labor costs calculated from your local wage rates differ from those in the database or those used in this book? What is the cause for the differences? Hint: What is included in the wages, and are they union or merit-shop?

Data from Exercise 1

Assume a concrete tilt-up building with an outside footprint of 200′ × 250′. Assume that panels are 9 inches thick and no larger than 30 feet wide and all panels are 27 feet tall. The building has two man-doors on each face and eight each 14′ wide by 14′ high truck doors on one face.
