To build an IGCE for Labor Hour and T&M contracts, provide your labor categories and performance location to generate a multi-sheet Excel workbook with BLS OEWS wage aging, burden multiplier scenarios, and escalation applied across base and option years.

Incorporate Per Diem rates and travel costs into an IGCE by leveraging GSA Per Diem data within the generation process, which produces dedicated travel detail sheets alongside labor estimates in the final auditable Excel workbook.

CALC+ cross-checking works by comparing your estimated labor and materials pricing against CALC+ ceiling rate statistics, highlighting divergences to help justify pricing decisions and ensure the T&M IGCE remains defensible.

Yes, you can apply three burden multiplier scenarios and escalation to contract option years. The tool ages BLS OEWS wages to the period of performance start and projects total costs across all base and option periods.

Yes, a Statement of Work is needed to perform SOW-based decomposition, which breaks down requirements to accurately estimate labor, travel, and T&M materials while producing the methodology and risk notes required for an audit-ready workbook.

The difference is that T&M IGCEs include dedicated materials estimation with specific methodology and risk notes, whereas Labor Hour IGCEs focus solely on labor and travel costs without the materials pricing component.
