Supervision: A generally accepted industry practice is to

taxes and insurance. The rate can be factored up or down to
provide additional or reduced supervision. The rate may be
set to zero to eliminate supervision from the calculation.

Sales Tax: Sales tax is included on material only. It may
be adjusted to any reasonable percentage or eliminated by setting
the number to zero.
