The cost of three-coat plastering is given in _Estimating and
Calculating Quantities_, Part 1, as 31 cents per square yard, and
two-coat work, as 23 cents per square yard. According to the same
section, lathing costs 12 cents per square yard. Therefore, lathing and
plastering for three-coat work cost 43 cents per square yard, and for
two-coat work, 35 cents per square yard.
The assumed cost of plain, run stucco cornice per linear foot of 2-foot
girth is 31½ cents, and the cost per linear foot of that having a
1-foot girth is 27 cents.
_Summary_
From the preceding estimates of quantities and costs, the following
figures are obtained:
1,853 sq. yd. of three-coat work, at 43 cents
per square yard $ 796.79
139.9 sq. yd. of two-coat work, at 35 cents
per square yard 48.97
147 ft. of cornice at 31½ cents 46.31
493 ft. of cornice at 27 cents 133.11
---------
Total cost of plastering $1,025.18
JOINERY
=8.= As there are so many different sizes in the joinery work, no
attempt has been made to make detailed estimates of the cost of each;
but the general method of obtaining the costs is that given in the
articles on Joinery, in _Estimating and Calculating Quantities_, Part
1. Since the quality of the work varies in different parts of the
building it will be found that one unit price will not be sufficient,
but experience is needed to fix the unit price for different classes of
work.
