Afcs Climatic Zone Labor Adjustment Factors PDF Download

The Army Facilities Components System (AFCS) Climatic Zone Labor Adjustment Factors are used to estimate construction labor costs in different climatic zones for theater of operations countries. Existing AFCS factors are analyzed for validity using published field data and computer technology. A regression analysis of the information used has generated revised factors. Labor adjustment factors were also developed for using local national versus troop labor in U.S. military theater of operations (TO) construction. These factors allow the estimator to allow for conditions such as poor communication and little experience with U.S. equipment and methods. These labor adjustment factors will be used when accessing the AFCS to estimate labor/cost for TO construction. (Author).
