What is the total labor cost for the following problem? Assume the following: the takeoff

quantity is 1,000 square feet of brick work, a crew of 3 masons and 2 helpers are required, a

production rate of .15 man hours per square foot, a productivity factor of 1.1 for a more difficult

than normal work, a base labor rate for a mason of $15 per hour and $8 per hour for a helper,

and a labor burden of 25% for payroll taxes, insurance, and benefits. Your text gives the basic
