Concept Estimating works with the full range of professionals active in the Long Beach market.
It has become widely noted that Long Beach is one of the cities that have a relatively larger percentage of unions in their construction industries. It is important to understand the dynamics of both union and non-union labor in order to get a realistic estimate of the market.
Most of the institutions, commercial buildings, and government constructions in Long Beach are undertaken by contractors who have agreements with the Los Angeles Building & Building Trades Council. One of the most important facts about the salary of workers in the projects done in Long Beach is that it is considered the highest in the country. The starting salary of carpenters in Los Angeles County is between $85 and $100 an hour inclusive of the benefits. The salary of ironworkers starts from $90 and ends at $110 an hour. Similarly, electricians are paid between $105 and $125 an hour according to the IBEW contract. It is impossible for a contractor to provide any estimate regarding the cost of utilizing non-union labor on union projects in Long Beach.
The residential projects in Long Beach, not governed by the union’s recommendations, usually involve projects that incorporate single-family housing and small multi-family housing projects that do not fall under any union regulations. The hourly wage for general carpentry and framing labor in residential truck labor projects in Long Beach varies between $45 and $70 per hour. Even though non-union workers get paid more than union workers in the United States, it is due to the unique nature of the Long Beach market environment. Although non-union projects have flexibility when dealing with labor charges, estimators who believe that national standards apply to Long Beach are misguided.
Installation labor and material costs for carpet, polished concrete, hardwood, tile, luxury vinyl plank and speciality carpets. In high-end residential and hospitality projects in Long Beach, an accurate cost estimate for the project must be made concerning material lead time and labor costs either union or non-union.
Cost estimates on process piping, fire suppression and plumbing in residential, commercial and mixed-use projects. Labor Hours, Fixture Schedule and Pipe Quantity Estimates will be made using current price of labor for mechanical trades in Los Angeles County.
Budgeting for custom glazing systems, windows and curtain walls. Glazing scope of work can get really complex when doing high-end residential and coastal commercial buildings in Long Beach; the budget must not only include materials but also the skill required to install them.
Pricing for landscape lighting, paving, hardscaping, and softscaping services. It can safely be said that there will be considerable needs for landscape services for any project in Long Beach; thus, the estimate will help avoid underestimating the cost.
Cost of balcony membranes, plaza decking, external cladding systems, and waterproofing of areas below ground level. As Long Beach is located near the coast, waterproofing is one of the often underestimated construction and renovation expenses.
Escalator, freight and passenger elevator, and accessibility equipment costs estimated. Vertical transportation estimates are required to accurately reflect the cost of equipment, shaft construction, and installation labor costs, as well as under appropriate union agreements, for the multi-story residential and commercial projects in Long Beach.
