Installed project cost calculator

Sum materials, engineering, labor and contingencies on the same project scope.

Units
I=Ld×cd+Nd×cdamper+Nworker×hlabor×w+CotherI = L_{d} \times c_{d} + N_{d} \times c_{\text{damper}} + N_{\text{worker}} \times h_{\text{labor}} \times w + C_{\text{other}}

Worked example

Given

  • LdL_{d} = 210 ft
  • cdc_{d} = 38 $/ft
  • NdN_{d} = 5 count
  • cdamperc_{\text{damper}} = 280 $/unit
  • NworkerN_{\text{worker}} = 3 count
  • hlaborh_{\text{labor}} = 24 h
  • ww = 42 $/h
  • CotherC_{\text{other}} = 1,800 $
I=210×38+5×280+3×24×42+1800=14,204I = 210 \times 38 + 5 \times 280 + 3 \times 24 \times 42 + 1800 = 14{,}204
