Feature OverviewIntroduce a Labour Difficulty Factor within ProEst that allows estimators to apply a multiplier to labour quantities or productivity rates to account for varying levels of job difficulty and site conditions.Current ChallengeLabour estimates are typically calculated using standard productivity rates. However, actual labour requirements can vary depending on factors such as site accessibility, working conditions, complexity of installation, and project-specific constraints.Currently, estimators need to manually adjust labour quantities to account for these conditions.Proposed FunctionalityAllow users to enter a difficulty factor against labour resources, cost items, or assemblies.The difficulty factor would act as a multiplier against the calculated labour hours.For example:Standard productivity: 1 hour per unitQuantity of work: 100 unitsStandard labour requirement: 100 hoursDifficulty factor: 1.5Adjusted labour requirement: 150 hoursA difficulty factor of 1.0 would represent standard productivity, while 1.5 would indicate that the work requires 50% more labour time than normal.Business BenefitsImprove the accuracy of labour estimates by accounting for job-specific conditions.Reduce the need for manual adjustments to labour quantities.Provide greater visibility into how difficulty impacts labour costs.Assist with workforce planning by providing more realistic labour-hour requirements.Allow estimators to maintain standard productivity rates while applying project-specific adjustments.Desired OutcomeEstimators should be able to apply a Labour Difficulty Factor that automatically adjusts labour hours and associated labour costs, without affecting material, equipment, or other non-labour resources.
