I am a concrete estimator who is trying to create some cut and paste Estimate line items I can just grab from one spread sheet and paste in to my estimate.
I was refining one and tried to use the IF function to pick the number of labor hours based on sq footage. More s.f. and we are more productive therefore less hours per s.f. I was trying to say if less that 500 s.f. then .035 hrs/s.f. 500 to 1,000 then .0275 hrs/s.f. >1,000 s.f. then .0225 hours/s.f. I could get one working but wanted to know how to get more going choises out of one formula. Attached is the assembly and the formula below it. Form, place and finish ~ (__) s.f. of 4" broom swept finish concrete sidewalk. Concrete to be 3,500 psi and reinforced with 6 x 6 , w1.4/ w1.4 wwf. $4,410.00 Area 990 s.f. Perimeter 114 l.f.
