Crew in an estimate

• Crew header:

  Estimate assembly description	Units	Formula
  Compaction crew - Road work	Days	= (V02 / V01)

• Formula variables

  Variable	Variable description	Units
  V01	Average daily production quantity	CY
  V02	Total quantity	CY

  When Crews are added to an estimate, variables and formulas are automatically generated based on the daily production quantity and the number of workers and equipment.

• Labor components

  Estimate item description	Units	Formula
  Labor foreman	Days	= (V02 / V01) * 1
  Laborer	Days	= (V02 / V01) * 1
  Equipment operator	Days	= (V02 / V01) * 3

  In the formulas above, the 1 and 3 multipliers indicate the number of workers. Average work hours are used to calculate the labor conversion factor, though that calculation is not shown here.

• Equipment components

  Estimate item description	Units	Formula
  54" smooth drum vibratory roller	Days	= (V02 / V01) * 2
  2200 gallon water truck	Days	= (V02 / V01) * 1

  In the formulas above, the 1 and 3 multipliers indicate the pieces of equipment. Average operating hours are used to calculate the equipment conversion factor, though that calculation is not shown here.
