Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cost of labor, material, and equipment expended on the items that were measured in the quantity takeoffs is considered the direct cost of the work. Direct costs are costs that can be directly attributed to a specific project or item and are necessary for its completion. Indirect costs, on the other hand, are costs that cannot be easily attributed to a specific project, such as rent or utilities. Inferred costs and extraneous costs are not commonly used terms in construction cost estimation.
