Piping (Home Office) Labor Hour Estimating

Warning This Excel Worksheet or Workbook "Tool" is locked and password protected. The user may only enter date in the "yellow" cells. Other cells on this "Tool" includes locked "cells" that contain complex math formulas. Care should be taken to learn where these cells are and if the spreadsheet is ever unlocked that the cells with the formulas are not disturbed. Disturbing or altering these cells may render the "Tool" unable to function properly. Introduction This WorkBook "Tool" is part of a suite of 6 "Tools" that are intended to aid the Piping Engineering Lead (Senior Supervisor or whatever he or she is called) who has the responsibility to make estimates, schedules, control the work, the hours, report the progress and prepare & files the Final Job Report. These "Tools" are: (1) Piping Engineering & Design Scope of Work, (3) Piping Labor Hour Estimating Forms, (3) Piping Control Level Schedule, (4) Physical Percent Complete Status Report, (5) Design Change Notice and (6) "Janus" Historical Data Log. These 5 WorkBook Tools are intended to be used as a "Set" and will bring value to your effort only if you in fact use all of them. Authors note: The information used in this example Labor Hour Estimate is pure fiction created by the author and any resemblance to real persons, projects, companies or places is coincidental. #1 Study these instructions and all three of the WorkSheets of this WorkBook. If you have any questions about anything here please contact me via E-mail (jopennock@netscape.net) and I will help you. #2 Make a Copy of the complete WorkBook and save it to your Project data base.

#3 The Prerequisite for the use of this tool is a completed and approved Scope of Work (SOW). Without an approved SOW it is not possible to develop a Labor Hour Estimate because there is no definition of what is to be done. #4 Start with the "Estimate Detail" sheet and enter the Project Number in the cell provided in the upper left corner. This number (and others) will be transferred to the Estimate Summary sheet automatically #5 Fill in the quantity of deliverables and activities. Use your "Approved" SOW for all the activities and deliverables. Start with the "Default" hours and adjust up or down depending on the complexity that is expected. #6 You can fill out almost the whole Estimate by only entering a value in the "Quantity" column. You do not need to enter a value in the "Hours" column. The program automatinally uses the "Default" value. #7 If you are not comfortable with the results using the "Default" value then you can enter a greater or lesser value in the "Hours" column. #8 When you have finished entering all the required data on the Estimate Detail sheet, look at the Summary sheet and finish the header information (yellow cells). You will notice that all the Totals and Percantages have been transferred for you. #9 Your next step will be the creation of your CLS (Control Level Schedule). To prepare for that collect the Operation Number/Activity Code totals (example: the 251 A total, thew 251 B total, etc). #10 At the end of the project collect the "actual" numbers for the number of deliverables and the hours it took to do the work. This historical data will help you with the estimate for your next project.
