Were environmental regulations taken into account in the 2000 quota at that time?

Today, an experienced engineer who works on installation cost estimates said at a conference that when the 2000 pricing standards were established, the environmental laws and regulations in effect at that time were not taken into account, such as the costs associated with dealing with waste insulation materials at construction sites. Since a meeting was being held at the time, I was embarrassed to bring it up in person. The quota includes a comprehensive factor for the reduced efficiency resulting from construction in an environment harmful to health. I checked some information, and it seems there is no cleaning fee. I’d like to discuss this with everyone here.
With fixed-rate charging, the profit margin is very high; especially labor costs, which are extremely high. Every project has a profit margin of over 30%. Further discussion on fixed rates and charging methods seems pointless to me
Hehe, fixed quotas are still used in bidding processes these days. Our settlements are based on fixed amounts, but only half of the cost is charged based on the total man-days worked
This morning, while going through the lecture notes on quota details, I came across a sentence stating that the construction management fee within the comprehensive costs includes on-site handling fees. It seems that waste disposal was taken into account during the initial calculations. Moreover, in each construction plan prepared, the aspect of HSE and environmental protection is also addressed, with a requirement to leave the site clean once all work is done and materials are used up.
On-site handling is included in the labor costs. Your senior engineers are a bit confused about the concepts. These days, I encounter some construction teams that, due to unclear contract terms, request additional fees during construction or try to cut back on certain necessary construction efforts.
Bro Dao, from the tone of your voice, you must be the client. I admit what you said – often asking the client for money for no reason. Hehe, I’ve done that too; I know it goes against professional ethics. However, I believe that as long as the client can point out the issues clearly, it will be difficult for the contractor to demand payment.
Are labor costs still high? Ugh, it’s amazing that manual labor can even cover the costs. Materials and machinery are what generate profits

For manual category 3 pricing, with a discount of over 30% on the total project cost, the construction company still makes a profit
