Participants will be introduced to the use of the publicly available US Army Corps of Engineers Construction Equipment Ownership and Operating Expense Schedule to generate reliable hourly rates for construction equipment as a tool for developing construction cost estimates and pricing contract modifications.
The largest cost component for most heavy construction projects is for ownership and operation of the equipment. It is also one of the hardest to independently determine. The US Army Corps of Engineers maintains a series of publications called the Construction Equipment Ownership and Operating Expense Schedule. These are available free of charge and provide a methodology and periodically updated cost tables that allow reasonable equipment costs to be determined. This webinar will discuss general cost estimating considerations and provide an introduction to the use of the USACE system for land based construction projects.
