Four items of direct materials for a single family home under construction are:
Cost of cement used, cost of bricks used, cost of shingles used and cost of thermo-mechanically treated (TMT) bars.
Four items of direct labor for a single family home under construction are:
Cost of foreman, cost of fitter, cost of welder and cost of pipe fitter.
Overheads are those costs that are neither direct materials nor direct labor. In case of a construction project like constructing a single family home the method of applying overheads starts with selecting a suitable allocation basis. The allocation basis can be total direct labor hours or any other suitable metric. The next step is to determine an allocation method. In case of constructing a single family home a ‘proportion between jobs’ method will be the most suitable method. This is because the making of a house involves different types of jobs.
