a) WorkCover
b) EPA permits
c) Building permits
d) Waste management
e) Site facilities, including a minimum of toilets, office, and meal area.

b) Labour costs for levelling the block: including number of workers, average hourly rate, and total labour costs
c) Apply overhead recovery margins of 15% to each subtotal (plant and labour)
Your spreadsheet must be itemised so that the price of each cost is listed, the 15% overhead recovery is applied, subtotals are listed, and a grand total is listed.

Assessment 3: Prepare an estimate of the labour costs associated with farming.

With reference to the project documentation provided in the appendices, create a spreadsheet that shows the cost of labour for the framing of the ground floor of the build. Ensure that you include:
