The local multiplier adjusts the calculated costs to the location of the building. Commercial 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 99 of the Marshall Valuation Service or Commercial Cost Explorer). 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.
Note: Local Multiplier is optional. If you do not enter a Local Multiplier, Commercial Estimator uses the default based on ZIP/Postal Code and Construction Class.
