-# Labor Factoring
+# Estimate Laboring
+
+In construction estimating,

+
+## Labor Factoring
+
+**Labor factoring** is the adjustment of base labor hours
+to account for adverse or beneficial working conditions.
+
+Labor factors are most often used to increase labor,
+but decrease is also possible,
+especially efficiency gains due to repetitive work.
