A Warning about Unit Rates

• There are many published sources of unit rates

  • Pertaining to their respective industries

    • Often updated yearly
  • The most basic are local trade or union agreements
  • Or tables of unit rates for delivering product

• The problem is

  • It is not always easy to tell exactly what is included

    • And what is not
  • Also the values tend to be "average"

    • Rather than "competitive"

• Although this information can be valuable

  • There is not substitute for personal experience!
