Indirects, overheads and general conditions estimate the cost of running the job including site setup, temporary works, site management, permits, logistics, supervision, QA/QC, and other indirect costs not tied to a single quantity item. This use case connects indirects to schedule and constraints using EKG relationships, reuses templates from similar projects, maintains traceable rationales for each indirect item, and generates time-dependent cost curves and staffing plans.

Estimate the “cost of running the job”: site setup, temporary works, site management, permits, logistics, supervision, QA/QC, and other indirect costs that are not tied to a single quantity item.

  • Typical inputs: schedule assumptions, site constraints, staffing plans, project execution plans, compliance requirements
  • Typical outputs: general conditions breakdown, staffing plan, temporary facilities/logistics costs, time-dependent cost curves
  • EKG + GenAI: connect indirects to schedule and constraints, reuse templates from similar projects, and keep traceable rationales for why each indirect item exists.
