Equipment cost basis
A correct internal rate per machine covering ownership, maintenance, fuel, and transport, charged to the projects that used it.
Chapter 2 is step 02
The chapter explains the thinking. The step page is the working reference: what it depends on, what it feeds, and how to tell whether it's installed. Step 02 needs step 01 in place first.
Before and after
What readers ask
What does chapter 2 of CONTROL cover?
A correct internal rate per machine covering ownership, maintenance, fuel, and transport, charged to the projects that used it. It's chapter 2 of 8, and it aligns with step 02 of the system.
Is there a template with this chapter?
Yes. Chapter 2 has a QR code that opens the equipment and vehicle cost basis worksheet. Ownership, maintenance and insurance in one sheet, so every machine and truck gets charged to the job that used it.
What has to be in place before this chapter works?
Steps 01 come first: job cost structure. Installing this one ahead of them produces numbers the field won't trust.
Should I read chapter 2 out of order?
You can. Chapter 2 falls between job cost structure and overhead calculation, and it reads on its own. Installing out of order is the part that doesn't work, because step 02 needs 01 to be correct first.
