What is included in the Total Incl. O&P column and how does RSMeans calculate it?
To arrive at the value of the Total Including Overhead & Profit column add 10% to the bare material and bare equipment cost. From the Installing Contractor’s Overhead and Profit table (the inside back cover of books or Reference 01100-070 in Means CostWorks) determine the Column F percentage for the appropriate labor type and add this percentage to the labor. The total of these calculations is the Total Including Overhead and Profit. Note the calculations are illustrated step by step in the HOW TO USE THE UNIT PRICE PAGES and the HOW TO USE THE ASSEMBLY COST TABLES found in each publication just before the appropriate section and in the Means CostWorks References section.
