As you may imagine, there are many variables which can change the tenor of a woodwork estimate
quickly and decisively:
- Variables which make a job more cost efficient:
- Quantity of work. Of course, the larger the job, the lower the cost per item.
- Darker color of wood. Generally, it is easier to effect an "invisible" repair
on darker wood colors.
- Low intensity lighting. Dimmed and muted lighting, as is often found in elevator cabs,
renders the job of repairing and "disguising" damage more efficient.
- Maintained surfaces. Furniture and fixtures which have been well maintained and
protected are, of course, more efficiently repaired and refurbished than pieces subjected to
a steady diet of use and abuse unchecked.
- Ease of access. Those jobs which are well-coordinated between the building management
and contractor, as pertaining to security access and time frames, are the most cost effective.
- Realistic expectations. The level of service is determined by the pattern of use and/or abuse
of the item, and by the expectations of the building management. A mediate level of service results in
mediate costs, while higher levels of service result in rising costs.
- Variables which make a job less cost efficient:
- Sometimes a smaller quantity of work is less cost effective. For example, monthly maintenance
on six elevator cabs will cost about as much as the same level of maintenance on eight elevator cabs.
- Lighter color of wood is often more difficult to repair "invisibly," and therefore costs more to repair.
Similarly, it is more difficult to hide a repair in "straight grained" wood than in woods with
an erratic, active grain figure (like burl).
- Abused and heavily damaged surfaces will, of course, require a higher premium repair labor rate.
- Difficulty of accessibility. Travel time, down-time waiting for security clearance, down-time waiting
for access to elevators, floors or suites also drive up the cost of our work.
- Heightened expectations will naturally tend to inflate prices. For example, heavily abused areas like
the typical freight elevator entrance will become damaged beyond the point of "like new" repair. Expecting
"furniture quality" repair work on freight elevator doors is, in most cases, unreasonable, because this
would require a weekly maintenance schedule with two to three times the average amount of labor.
