 Description
You will develop a strong foundation in wrap rate development and its application to cost estimating with this Online Training (OLT) course. You’ll gain the skills to define key terms such as wrap rate, direct labor hours, and efficiency rate, and learn to use these concepts to estimate contractor hours for task completion. This course also dives into the three components of a wrap rate—direct labor wage rates, overhead costs, and other costs—exploring how each is calculated and influenced by various factors.

Through practical examples and guided exercises, you will:
  • Calculate wrap rates and Fully Burdened Labor Rates (FBLR) using provided data.
  • Contrast concepts such as standard hour vs. labor standard.
  • Understand methods for projecting wage rates, wrap rates, and fully burdened labor costs into the future.
By the end of this course, you’ll be able to confidently apply these calculations to real-world cost estimating scenarios, ensuring accurate and efficient project planning.
