Multiple Parallel Sets of Feeders

[Alwayslearningelec]

I took a NECA MLU course and they said that sometime a labor unit will be reduced for pipe if there are multiple parallel sets. Why is this? Because of the setup time, they are located right next to each other? I think also because a MLU includes material handling time and these would be brought to the location together. Thanks.

I would say because of the repetitive factor. If your making mulitple of the same offset your second offset shouldn't take as long to make up as your first one.

This is from the mike holt electrical estimating book.

labor adjustments:

1 to 2 repeats 0%
3 to 5 repeats -15%
6 to 10 repeats -25%
11 to 15 repeats -35%
16 + repeats -45%
