Accubid Labor

Accubid fitting method. Includes the welds on both sides, handling of the material and the installation time. The Accubid labor unit ranges between 23% and 28% less than the published MCA Labor Estimating Manual units.

Accubid Modified

Accubid joint method. Includes the handling and installation time, but does not include the welds. The welds are taken off separately by turning auto joints on and taking off joints for each weld. This method combines a portion of fitting labor plus joint labor to calculate the total.

For example, a 4” Carbon Steel, Standard Butt Weld LR elbow has a labor unit of .2. This is the amount of labor for handling. The 2 joints for this elbow each have 1.75 hours of labor. The combined labor is fitting + 2 joints = 3.7 calculated at (1.75x2)+0.2. The advantage of using the Accubid modified labor is realized when fitting to fitting situations are encountered. When Auto Joints is set to OFF in the Takeoff Attributes section of the Takeoff screen, the joints can be taken off separately from the fittings. The result is less labor because only the labor required to make the necessary joints is added to the estimate.

Note: There is no labor unit for joint items in the MCA, PHCC, or Accubid labor units. Therefore, counting and entering joints independently from the fittings, in fitting to fitting situations can be a real labor saving advantage when Accubid modified labor units are used.

John S. Page

Alsoknown as Page of nations. Very well known among industrial contractors who selfperform pipe fabrication. John S. Pagehas placed all the labor from soup to nuts on the joints. His theory is that there is no handling onthe fittings but he does include some pipe handling on pipe. This method allows industrial contractors toaccurately determine their shop joints verses their field joints. Therefore getting the total man hours intheir shop and the total man hours in the field.

MCA (Component Method)

For every pipe,valve, fitting, and equipment in the database of our estimating systems thereis a labor unit. MCAA is the industrystandard for coming up with those labor units and they did that in the verybeginning using a 'timed installation challenge'. In this timed exercise they used carbon steelthen added a factor for different materials such as stainless steel. Their assumption is the labor for thecomponent / fitting includes the welds. So, for a 90 degree elbow that has two ends (joints), they include labor toweld those 2 joints. With a Tee whichhas 3 sides, they include enough labor to weld 3 joints.

MCA WAM (Work Activity Method)

MCA component method is a great method, however, this becomes tricky is when you have back-to-back fittings. If you have two 90 degree elbows welded together, the MCA component method is giving you labor for four welds but in reality you only have three. And also, for contractors that do pre-fabrication and want to count their shop joints verses their field joints to accurately pinpoint their shop labor verses their field labor: How do you do this when you don't know the value of the joints? This is why MCAA released the Work Activity Method (WAM) in 2013.
