Engineer hours (mech/e&i)
Design hours (piping/e&i)
Project Management hours
Construction supervision hours
Please give me some good examples and I am wide-opened any inputs.

Engineering $/hour x # hours = $$$
Design/Cad $/hour x # hours = $$$
Take a look at the resources needed for each step of the work and you can subtotal that cost appropriately. If procurement and QC of materials apply do not forget them. Also remember that the hours do not directly translate to a project completion date. Just because 40 hours are needed does not mean it will be done in a week. People may not be available "full time" to work the project. This seems to be especially true with subcontracted work, hence the need for lag time in any project. Hope this helps.
