Ok. Here are our estimates:
MATERIALS:
Tube Alloys - Rare Metals.........150pcs @ 150 erb each = subtotal: 22500 erb
P1 Centrifuges........................3 @ 800 erb each = subtotal: 2400 erb
Steel....................................500pcs @ 30 erb each = subtotal: 1500 erb
Custom Piping........................100pcs @ 40 erb each = subtotal: 4000 erb
Condensers...........................32 @ 60 erb each = subtotal: 1920 erb
Pumps..................................32 @ 100 erb each = subtotal: 3200 erb
Wiring..................................1000pcs @ 0.10 erb each = subtotal: 100 erb
Generators............................4 @ 200 erb each = subtotal: 800 erb
Steam Turbines......................4 @ 200 erb each = subtotal: 800 erb
Solar Panels...........................64 @ 60 erb each = subtotal: 3840 erb
LABOUR:
15,000 General or unskilled labourers................@ 18 erb a head = subtotal: 270000 erb
995 Masons...............................................@ 20 a head = subtotal: 19900 erb
5 Master Masons...........................................@ 45 a head = subtotal: 225 erb
995 Carpenters..........................................@ 20 a head = subtotal: 19900 erb
5 Master Carpenters...................................@ 45 a head = subtotal: 225 erb
995 Plumbers.............................................@ 20 a head = subtotal: 19900 erb
5 Master Plumbers......................................@ 45 a head = subtotal: 225 erb
95 Painters.................................................@ 20 a head = subtotal: 1900 erb
5 Master Painters (Basically, mural artists, etc.).@ 45 a head = subtotal: 225 erb
1950 Electricians.........................................@ 20 a head = subtotal: 39000 erb
50 Master Electricians..................................@ 45 a head = subtotal: 2250 erb
4,950 welders...............................................@ 20 a head = subtotal: 99000 erb
50 Master Welders.........................................@ 45 a head = subtotal: 2250 erb
150 Engineers...............................................@ 50 a head = subtotal: 7500 erb
12 Environmental Scientists.............................@ 150 a head = subtotal: 1800 erb
Total Materials Cost: 41,060
+ Total Labor Cost: 484,300
-----------------------------------------------------------------
= Grand Total Project Cost: 525,360 erb
I have taken the time to reorganize a few items in the labor section according to a hierarchy of trades and professions, in terms of their respective individual labor costs. ("Labour" is spelled "labor "where I am from.) Also a note on the labor payments. There is a huge difference between the complexity of work done by a mason and of work done by a master mason. A master mason is almost a sculptor in terms of his capability, and it shows in his or her beautiful results. The same principle, that of the master being a more skilled laborer than a non-master laborer, goes for the other labor areas. For any laborer who is a master, therefore, I have added for some of the labor categories a labor cost for the several individuals with the capability and qualifications of a master. I have assumed that the scientists and engineers are already at the fullest of their capability and qualifications. The per head amounts are per person, per year.
Long term, you will need plant technicians and managers to run things. We can worry about them now or later. Just in case, I have figured up that plant technicians cost 75 a head and plant managers cost 100 a head.
Long term operational labor cost estimates (not necessarily complete)
Plant Technician...........................75 erb a head
Plant Manager..............................100 erb a head
Additionally, the project manager--me--needs to be paid at least 200 erb. You can send the first installment to my bank account. If I have a stake in the company working on the project, then it might need to be more than that.
I hope these figures are satisfactory.
Sincerely,
Mateu Vasroe
