GENERAL CONDITIONS AND PROFIT
This element includes all site overhead items, mobilization,
demobilization, together with a pro rata charge of the general contractor's
head office overhead expense and a profit mark-up. When construction
management contracts are used, the later often becomes a fee and may be
carried elsewhere.
For convenience, estimators-have traditionally included in General
Conditions certain costs which could be considered distributable to a work
section (e.g. sales taxes, labor fringe benefits, equipment for placing
concrete, etc.). In this breakdown, such items shall be distributed to the
work sections.
Note that this section includes only general contractor's or
construction managers' general condition items and that all subcontractors'
overheads and profit should be included in each respective work section.
CLARIFICATION
In filling out the project cost data sheets, the general contractor's overhead
and profit on subcontractors' work should be included in General Conditions
and Profit. However, the general contractor's overhead and profit on his own
work and the subcontractors' overhead and profit should be included in the
cost of each item of work.

EQUIPMENT
This element accords fairly closely with CSI Divisions 11, 12 and 13. It is
subdivided at level B into:
- Specialized Equipment (i.e., food service, laboratory, etc.)
- Furnishings
- Special Construction
As furniture is funded from separate sources, there is no further development
of this sub-element here.
