Hi, can I ask for the source of this? Any government association that released these rates? Thank you so much, I need this for my research.
what does B.F stand for? board feet? if so then for truss fabrication and installation is for wooden truss and not steel
BF – means board-foot
How about for tiling works?
how about for painting works
WHAT IS LF/DAY FOR WELDER?
LF – means linear-foot
Please let me know the productivity for electrician, plumber, welder, welder.
Hi, what is tooling in Masonry work / CHB Laying
Can you also give this by region? Region V specifically
This is Manhour, not rate. So standard to all regions.
This is MANHOUR, not COST. So it’s the same for all regions.
