Use

Besides costs that can be assigned directly to a service line, there are also overhead costs.

For construction projects, these overhead costs can be made up of the following:

Construction site facilities including accommodation, energy, security equipment, wages, materials, tools and small equipment, material costs for construction site equipment and so on.

Leases, roads, traffic regulations

Salary cost for construction departments, settlement, surveying

Maintenance and repair of equipment, energy and power consumption, tools and small equipment

Transport of equipment, materials and leased goods

Special costs for the construction site such as technical execution of work and object-related insurance

There are no separate service lines in the customer BOS to represent the overhead costs.The overhead costs are calculated separately using the costing tool Easy Cost Planning .
