Is labor to deliver (i.e. drive time, time to unload materials, and / or shipping costs from suppliers) and / or unload materials on a job site included in the material cost? I know installation costs are not, but I cannot seem to find an answer on whether or not delivery and unloading costs can be included in the total material cost.

Hi Brianna, I would say the cost of labor to deliver products to the job site should be included in material cost. See p. 470 in the v4 BD+C reference guide...
Determining Product Cost
Product and materials cost includes all taxes and expenses to deliver the material to the project site incurred by the contractor but excludes any cost for labor and equipment required for installation after the material is delivered to the site.
