Secrets of a structuralengineer 0 dbarista Fri, 09/08/2023 - 11:54 Engineers Walter P Moore's Scott Martin, PE, LEED AP, DBIA, offers tips and takeaways for young—and veteran—structuralengineers in the AEC industry.
Design-assist is a popular procurement method for curtain wall systems in today’s commercial market, intended to help resolve these challenges, particularly for custom curtain walls with unique performance requirements and/or unique material configurations. Figure 1: Collaboration is the key to design-assist success.
This is the third blog post in a series that discusses the advantages of working on concrete projects in a BIM process for structuralengineers. Segmentation is dictated by engineering, architectural, or fabrication requirements, and its reinforcement is determined by the structuralengineer.
Ed Carrigan asked: “Do you believe there is a savings between JOC program and a bidding process (design-bid-build)?” For multi-trade repair and improvement type projects, Job Order Contracting will win out on a savings analysis over design-bid-build. ” Thanks for the question, Ed.
Low Bid; Best Bid: Historically facility managers have had their hands tied with acquisition regulations that required the award of projects to the lowest bidding contractor. Too often the low bid winner would prove to be the contractor that made the most mistakes in their bid. Share to Twitter Share to Facebook.
All contractors have faced this at one time or another where they were low bid on a project and learn as the job unfolds why they were low bid. Rory is currently with The Gordian Group, leaders in expediting construction procurement through Job Order Contracting. It is painful and it all comes back to scope, scope, scope!!
Architects and engineers define scope in plans and specifications but for construction estimating this scope is incomplete. Successful "hard bid" contractors know very well that scoping construction goes well beyond the AE scope and must include field specific scope. Share to Twitter Share to Facebook. Newer Post.

The first crisis will occur when the contractor bids are greater than the budget estimate. Published construction cost data is also very helpful for budgetary estimating and for checks and balances in bidding.

Double Check Phase: All good cost estimates are checked and double checked prior to establishing it as the project budget or bid price for a project.

Estimate Contingency: Defining and capturing the scope of work is the key to accuracy in estimating (and bidding) projects (particularly with renovation projects).

Industrial construction realizes the change among these two kinds of projects since procure and Modern construction remaking projects appear with their objection and awards. The contemporary building connects to constructing a whole newest space when remodeling is a natural solution. What Are Construction Projects? Construction object.
Life-cycle information exchanges have previously been identified in the structural steel domain—an analysis model, a design model, and a detailed model. The analysis model reflects the needs of structuralengineers to evaluate the requirements of the building and size the system to meet the facility’s requirements.

This week the blog topic is on “Negotiating” unit price line items taken from national estimating guides on competitively bid contracts that are publically funded and subject to audits. Rory is currently with The Gordian Group, leaders in expediting construction procurement through Job Order Contracting. You read it right.
