Hi Everybody,
I have just started working for a large construction company who have never cost loaded thier projects before.
I did read somewhere that 80% of planners dont cost load at activity level.
In my previous company I cost loaded all my projects at activity level (this is using P6) and it worked quite well.
Could you tell me if its the norm to cost load projects and if so at which level?
If you do cost load, is it best to cost load these at a base rate with no inflation?
The situation is that we may build a tower and charge £££ to build and there may be a similar tower we will build but it may have slight changes so may cost slightly more or less, how do you control this?
I would assume that you would add your resource at activity level/rate to give you labour cost and add materials also at activity level to give you a material cost, this all being at the base rate then leave the inflation to the QS to sort?
If you could advise me please.
