Budget verses Time (man/hours and prototype type time) verses cost for materals as reflected in time to make verses having elements made?

Your completed project is well done and says a lot of time and materials. Well done in doing great work
We are all salaried here.... so it was a "get it up to paints by tuesday type thing". Luckly I did not have to pull an all nighter. It took me about 3 days to build the base, 2 days to build the trunk and limbs. The guys that foamed it did it in 2 10 hour days, carving took a day, and foam coat/paint took a day. I don't even want to count up the man hours, Though its probably in the 120's or so. I estimate the cost at about 6k not including labor, though I have not seen the final budget. We built it on the good and fast side, as we do with most things here. We very rarely if ever send something out to get built. Nearly everything you see on our stage (of a show we built) was built in house.
