I realize this is a repeat but for one I dont have any extra time this week and two scope cannot be over emphasized in the construction estimating process. Heaven, Hell and Estimating: They say that all good jokes are based on bits of truth.

Pay close attention to the math and follow the logic and in the end we will arrive at a useful range of markups that can be used for facilities budgetary estimating. Estimate contingency should not be an excuse to skip the due diligence.

In my estimation this could be worth at least a couple of points; conservatively I would argue for a 2% savings in this analysis. Thursday, February 16, 2012. A Savings Analysis! I was set to publish a blog this week on cost control.

The study estimates that the annual savings in communities that have adopted the latest editions of the building codes at $1.6 However, the NAHB contended that adopting recent editions of the codes in areas that are less prone to natural disasters is not cost-effective and would negatively impact housing affordability.

Tender drawings: These types of drawings are provided to the bidders at the tender time to estimate the blank BOQ. As for instance, sometimes supports are not cited in tender drawings but if it is given in specification, bidder should take the cost of that supports into consideration at the time of estimating the specific item.

Structural engineer: The structural engineer of the building typically defines the loading criteria the curtain wall will need to resist ( e.g. wind, ice/snow/rain, seismic) alongside other loads often defined by the curtain wall consultant (impact, barrier, accidental) and, if applicable, the security consultant ( e.g. blast loading).

The following are possibly faulty conditions: The diameter of the post remains under 3 inches as per 2006 International Residential Code (IRC), Section R407.3. A 2½-inch post is sufficient to support the load over it, whereas a 4-inch post can buckle when the load goes beyond the structural strength of the post.

Concrete is a very important building material that is used for the construction of various residential as well as commercial projects. If the crack is larger or growing larger (an “active” crack ), or one side of the crack is higher than the other, then you may need to have the work reviewed by a structural engineer.
