Screen Assembly Cost at 72% screen assembly scope included: a worked example

Here is what the math looks like when conditions slip. We hold every other input steady and drop screen assembly scope included to 72%, then walk the calculation through step by step. Estimate window or door screen assembly cost from screen count, cost per screen, scope, and setup adders.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Screen assemblies in the order: 140 screens (held at the documented default)
  • Fully burdened cost per screen: 28 $ / screen (held at the documented default)
  • Screen assembly scope included: 72 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 100)
  • Fixed screen setup and packaging adder: 350 $ (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Variable screen assembly cost = screen assemblies in the order × fully burdened cost per screen × screen assembly scope included.
  • total screen assembly cost works out to 3,172 $ at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • cost per screen works out to 22.66 $ / piece at these inputs.
  • variable screen assembly cost works out to 2,822 $ at these inputs.
  • fixed screen setup and packaging adder works out to 350 $ at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where screen assembly scope included sits at 100% and the headline result is 4,270 $, this scenario comes in 25.7% below the baseline at 3,172 $.
  • The practical read: the gap between this scenario and the baseline is entirely attributable to screen assembly scope included, so recovering it is worth quantifying in dollars before considering equipment or staffing changes. It assumes every screen in the order carries the same burdened cost, so mixed mesh types, oversized units, or specialty frames need to be costed as separate runs.

Results at a glance

  • total screen assembly cost: 3,172 $ (headline result)
  • cost per screen: 22.66 $ / piece
  • variable screen assembly cost: 2,822 $
  • fixed screen setup and packaging adder: 350 $
