Rate Builder Classic Model Data Method

Category: Cost-Basic

Summary

This tool builds an equipment rate by combining ownership and operating costs into a usable hourly charge rate for job costing and budgeting. It incorporates utilization, fuel, PM, wear parts, overhead, and repair behavior, and it connects rate outputs back to an optimum ownership perspective. It also includes a tree view that shows how cost elements roll up into owning vs operating. Use it to create defensible internal rates and to test how assumption changes impact the final charge rate.
