BY {. III. FLOYD.

Business organizations of all classes
are giving more and more thought
and study to the preparation and use
of budgets. 1t is interesting to note
that the contractors detailed estimate
of the cost of "A job has all the char
acteristics of a budget.
An important use of estimates or
budgets, and one which is worthy of
greater attention than has been given
to ii. is their use as an aid to man
agement in controlling labor and pro-
duction costs.
The judgment of efficiency which
comes from superintendent eN
perienCe in handling men is valuable,
but does not in itself guarantee cost
control when ii operates from obser-
vation alone. A construction job is
Il complex manufacturing process,
and the superintendent cannot be at
all points observing all men at the
same time. Further. ii is doubtful
whether observation unaided will
pick up rhe small difference in out
put which measures the margin of
profit in the contracting business.
Estimates Aid Work.
On the other hand, the estimate
which measures the quantity and
reasonable allowance for each task is
a reinforcement to such Judgment.
which. like all good tools, makes for
efficiency. The more it is used the
better.
The job is undertaken on the basis
of detailed estimate. and if every
subdivision of the actual construc-
ton of the job is carefully controlled
on the basis of the estimate, profits
inevitably materialiZe.
The theory and working of the
method are as follows:
The estimate allowances for each
operation on the job are based on past
records on similar work and knoledge
of relative future conditions on the job
under discussion. Each allowance
must. therefore. be assumed 10 be
correct. for the building company is
haZarding its profits on that allow
ance. If the construction department
feels that the estimate allowance for
d given operation is not correct. then
the construction department should
| consult with the estimating depart
ment, because such a conference may
! develop the fact that the allowa nee
made by the estimating department
is justified by past experience. and a
further study of previous jobs may
indicate methods which if used on the
new job will keep the cost within the
estimated allowance.

followed, but there are few exceptions
where the estimate gives lump sum
amount for the cost of the entire item
without dividing the item into units.
In such cases the money allowance

Having decided the number of men
required to do a definite portion Of

superintendent gives this information

that thereafter the work of the super.
intendent in supervising costs Is
greatly assisted by his ability to def
