Utah requirements that change the estimate
Prevailing wage on public work
Utah does not have a general state prevailing-wage law for public works. Federally funded jobs can still carry Davis-Bacon rates, and some local agencies set their own requirements, so tell us how the project is funded.
Code basis
Utah adopts the Utah State Construction Code statewide, based on the International Codes with amendments set by the Legislature.
Energy code climate zones
Energy code climate zones in Utah run roughly 3–6 on the 2021 IECC map. The zone for the project county sets insulation, glazing and equipment efficiency requirements.
Sitework and Earthwork Estimating considerations for St George
Semi-arid conditions with cold winters, heavy mountain snow, seismic hazard along the Wasatch Front, and desert conditions in the south. Apply these notes only when the project documents support them.
Frost depth
Frost depth varies widely with elevation and region, from shallow in low-lying areas to deep in the mountains, so the footing depth has to come from the local code for the site. Utility bury depth, base course thickness and subgrade preparation all respond to frost depth, so trench volumes are measured to the depths the civil plans specify.
Hot, dry climate
Dust control and water for compaction are real cost items in dry climates.
