Smart Home Integration is a labour-intensive industry. Even with the modern technical advances, power tools and computers, integrators still need a labour force to complete project. And the cost of the labour force is more than expected. It is crucial to understand and measure the true costs of sending an employee out in the field. Once determined, the estimator can use that cost rate to create estimates and the accounting/project management department can use the same rate for job costing. This session will demonstrate how to determine the true cost of field labour.
