What is the labor cost to spray paint interior ceilings?

Answer 1

== == While I have not calculated costs for this exact item, here is how I have calculated labor costs for similar projects. First you must time how long it takes to paint 1 ceiling tile (in seconds), then devide 3600 by that number, this will give you how many tiles you can do in 1 hour. Example: If it takes me 10 seconds to complete one tile, than (3600/10=360) I can complete 360 tiles an hour. Devide the workers hourly rate by how many tiles you can you can do an hour, and that gives you your labor cost per tile. Example: Worker is paid $18.00 an hour. ($18.00 hour / 360 tiles in an hour = $0.05 per tile) Now, times that rate (in the example $0.05) by the number of tiles to get the direct labor cost for the job) Example: 80 tiles * $0.05 per tile = $4.00 direct labor to paint all 80 tiles. To get a true number, you must also add in things like the travel time it takes to set-up, the time to go up and down the ladder, the time it takes to refresh the paint, etc. All of these items can be obtained using a similar system as above.

Direct Labor + (((Worker's Hourly Wage) / (3600/Time it takes to do this step in seconds)) * (The number of times the worker has to do this step))
