1RQ2RQ3RQ4RQ5RQ6RQ7RQ8RQList and describe the six elements of a detailed estimate.10RQ11RQ1RQ2RQ3RQ4RQ5RQ6RQ7RQ8RQ9RQ10RQWhat is the objective of a quantity takeoff?Why is it recommended that estimators follow a standard method of measurement when preparing a takeoff?What is the difference between an estimator’s quantity takeoff and a foreman’s material takeoff?4RQWhat are the two components that make up a takeoff item?In what order are dimensions entered onto the takeoff?Why should a figured dimension be used in preference to a dimension scaled off a drawing?Why should an estimator include headings and side notes throughout a takeoff?The cost of transportation of materials has to be allowed for in the estimate, but this item is not usually measured or even referenced in the takeoff. List six other similar items.What level of accuracy should the estimator pursue in the measurement of work in a takeoff?What is an assembly, and how is the notion of assemblies used in the takeoff process?12RQ13RQ14RQ15RQ16RQ17RQ18RQ1RQ2RQWhat is the purpose of a soils report, and how can the information it contains assist the estimator?4RQ5RQ6RQ7RQ8RQ9RQWhy is it critical to accurately calculate the centerline of a perimeter foundation to a building?11RQWhy is it recommended that the estimator begin a takeoff of concrete work by measuring the quantity of concrete in an item rather than the amount of formwork?Why is it also preferable to measure the concrete and all other work associated with an item before going on to measure the concrete in another item?Why is nothing added to the concrete quantities for wastage at the time of the takeoff?What size does an opening in concrete have to be before a deduction is made from the volume of concrete to account for the opening?Why is concrete classified and measured separately in different categories?6RQ1RQ2RQ3RQ4RQ5RQ6RQ7RQ8RQ9RQ10RQ11RQ1RQ2RQ3RQ4RQ5RQ6RQ7RQ8RQ9RQ10RQ11RQ12RQ1RQ2RQ3RQ4RQ5RQ6RQ7RQ8RQ9RQ10RQ11RQ12RQ13RQ14RQ15RQ16RQ17RQ1RQ2RQ3RQ4RQ5RQ6RQ7RQ8RQ1RQ2RQ3RQ4RQ5RQ6RQ7RQ8RQ1RQ2RQ3RQ4RQ5RQ6RQ7RQ8RQCalculate the cost per cubic yard to place concrete using each of the alternatives described. The work in both cases consists of placing 140 cubic yards of concrete in footings. a. Using a crane and bucket at a price of $225 per hour, including an operator, with a crew consisting of 6 laborers, a cement finisher, and a foreman. The concrete will be placed in 7 hours using this setup, and transportation of the crane costs $390. b. Using a concrete pump at a price of $295 per hour, including an operator and a crew consisting of 5 laborers, a cement finisher, and a foreman. With this setup, concrete is placed in 6 hours and transportation of the pump costs $290.11RQ12RQ13RQ14RQ1RQ2RQ3RQ4RQ5RQ6RQ7RQ8RQ9RQ1RQ2RQ3RQ4RQ5RQ6RQ7RQ8RQ1RQ2RQ3RQ4RQ5RQ6RQ7RQ8RQ1RQ2RQ3RQ4RQ5RQ6RQ7RQ8RQ9RQ10RQ11RQ12RQ13RQ14RQ15RQ16RQ1RQ2RQ3RQPrepare a typical bay estimate based on the following information: a. Bay size of 350 feet and a building perimeter of 1,100 feet. b. There are 50 bays in the building. c. Unit prices: • Concrete piles: $950.00 each • Concrete pile caps: $725.00 each • Slab-on-grade: $12.50 per sq. ft. • Structural steel frame: $4.90 per sq. ft. • Roof structure: $10.75 per sq. ft. • Roofing: $8.20 per sq. ft. • Plumbing & HVAC: $9.80 per sq. ft. • Electrical: $6.10 per sq. ft. • Exterior foundations: $100.00 per linear ft. • Exterior walls: 728.00 per linear ft.5RQ6RQ1RQ2RQ3RQ4RQ5RQ6RQ1RQ2RQ3RQ4RQ5RQ6RQ7RQ8RQ9RQ10RQ11RQ12RQ13RQ14RQ15RQ16RQ17RQ18RQ19RQ20RQ
