Local Multiplier
The local multiplier adjusts the calculated costs to the location of the
building. Residential Estimator automatically uses a local multiplier based on the
ZIP or Postal Code entered on the General Information screen (using the local
multipliers in Section F of the Residential Cost Handbook). This default local multiplier displays to the right of this field. To
override the automatic local multiplier for an estimate, enter the desired
multiplier in this field (using a number between 0.1 and 6.00).
Example: To set the Local Multiplier to 1.15, enter 1.15 in this field.
