A construction cost estimate is a prediction of the cost of accomplishing construction work. 2.List and describe the three main functions of estimates in the construction industry. a.To provide an estimate of the probable cost of construction work in the early stages of a building program in order to determine whether or not a project is financially feasible. b.To facilitate the control of the expenditure of funds on a project as part of a cost control program. This often takes the form of a series of “preliminary estimates” prepared so that informed decisions may be made on what to include in the design, followed by further estimates in the construction phase to provide a budgetary control system that enables a contractor to identify production deficiencies. c.To provide an accurate forecast, from drawings and specifications supplied by the owner, of the cost of the work of a project to enable a contractor to compile a bid price for the work. 3.Which two factors are assessed to determine if a project is feasible? The value of the development and the cost of the development—a feasible project can be defined as one where the anticipated value of all benefits exceeds the estimated total cost of putting the project in place. 4.What is a conceptual estimate? An estimate of the cost of the work prepared at the initial stage of a project when there are few, if any, design details. It is usually prepared by means of one of the approximate estimating techniques described in the text. 5.Why are preliminary estimates prepared? Preliminary estimates are prepared as the design develops in order to inform the designers that their proposed design does or does not meet the project budget. They can also assist the designers by providing cost information about alternative design details so that designers can make more informed design decisions. 3 complete document is available on https://solumanu.com/ *** contact me if site not loaded

Volume of building: 1405.875 × 12.33 Metric: 130.2 × 3.8 Cost per unit volume: $120,790/17,334.439 Metric: $120,790/494.76 8.Based on your analysis in question 6 above, what would be the estimated price of a similar bungalow of this size: 30'0" (9.1 m) × 45'0" (13.7 m)? = 17,334.439 cu. ft. = 494.76 m3 = $6.97 per cu. ft. = $244.14 per m3 Area of building: Metric: Estimated price: Metric: 30.0 × 45.00 9.1 × 13.7 1350.0 × $85.92 124.67 × $927.73 = 1350.0 sq. ft. = 124.67 m2 = $115,992.00 = $115,660.10 9.List and describe the six stages of a detailed estimate. Stage 1. Quantity Takeoff—The work to be performed by the contractor is measured in accordance with standard rules of measurement. Recap Quantities—The quantities of work taken off are sorted and listed to comply with the C.S.I. MasterFormat or other standard to facilitate the process of pricing. Pricing the Takeoff—Prices for the required labor, equipment, and materials are entered against the quantities to determine the estimated cost of the contractor’s work. Pricing Subcontractors’ Work—Prices are obtained from competing subtrades, who quote to perform the work of their trade; then, usually, the lowest bid from each trade is entered into the estimate.

Summary and Bid—All the estimated prices are summarized, the contractor’s mark-up is added, and the tender documents are completed. The bid can then be submitted and, finally, the bid results recorded and analyzed. Stage 5. Stage 6. 10.What are the hidden costs of poor construction safety? The hidden costs of poor construction safety include: 1.Tool and equipment repair and maintenance costs 2.Production interruptions and delay costs 3.Legal expenses 4.Expenditure on emergency supplies and equipment 5.Replacement equipment rentals 6.Investigative and administrative expenses 7.Cost of hiring and training replacement personnel 8.Overtime payments and other costs incurred trying to catch up 9.Decreased output of injured workers upon return 10.Damage to company reputation and subsequent loss of business 11.What effect does the introduction of construction company safety programs have on the process of estimating? This affects the work of the estimator in two ways: 1.The project safety programs have a cost that is accounted for in the general expenses section of an estimate. (See Chapter 14 for a discussion of General Expenses.) 2.Because a high standard of safety translates into cost savings, estimators are able to use far more competitive prices in the estimates they prepare. 5 complete document is available on https://solumanu.com/ *** contact me if site not loaded
