How it's calculated
Each crew row is number × days × daily wage, and the rows are added together. The area method multiplies your built-up area by a labour rate per square foot — a quick sanity check against the detailed crew figure.
This is labour only. Add materials from the BOQ estimator for the full project cost, plus a margin for overheads and contingency.
