Question:
How can the data in DMI Databases accommodate various fluctuating
cost values throughout the multitude of geographic regions?
Answer:
The production rates entered throughout DMI Databases
for Quick Bid support cost-effective* productivity levels for journeymen
earning prevailing wage and benefits in the Chicago metropolitan
area. Typically, other regions with lower hourly labor costs incur
very similar unit costs due to proportionally lower productivity
levels. Regions with higher hourly labor costs typically incur proportionally
higher unit costs.
*Cost-effectiveness requires employment of journeymen who are experienced
and highly skilled in each specific assignment performed; productivity
levels relate to work performed during regular working hours and
favorable environmental conditions.
