Planning & EstimatingPregunta 82 de 100
Why do estimators add a factor for waste and touch-up when calculating paint quantities?
a.To intentionally overcharge the customer
b.Because paint quantities are always exact
c.Some paint is lost to spillage, roller/tray retention, and overspray, and extra is kept for touch-ups
d.Waste is illegal to account for
Explicación
Real jobs lose material to tray and roller retention, spillage, overspray, and box mixing, so a modest waste factor keeps the crew from running short. Keeping extra of the exact batch also allows future touch-ups to match. This factor makes the material estimate realistic.
