|
All-in labour rate: A rate which includes payments to operatives and associated costs which arise directly from the employment of labour. All-in material rate: A rate at which includes the cost of materials delivered to site, conversion, waste, unloading, handling, storage and preparing for use. All-in mechanical plant rate: A rate which includes the costs originating from the ownership or hire of plant together with operating costs. |
