Callback Allowance Cost

Construction ITEM DESCRIPTION

An estimated unit cost that covers anticipated "call back" time to repair minor problems that appear after work is completed.

Labor Costs

The unit size is an hour of callback time, so it simply requires one skilled carpenter hour.

Material Costs

None.

Suggested Quantity

No suggested quantity. We have never figured a good "rule of thumb" for callbacks. You might want to figure 1 hour for small projects, 2 to 10 hours for medium-sized ones, and 20 or 30 hours for large ones.

HINT-- Including a call-back allowance in your estimates will help you to shift some of your overhead expenses to "hard" construction costs.

Source of Construction Pricing

Very simple logic.
