Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1RQE
To determine
The names of the largest contractors along with their rankings reported by ENR in the categories of Heavy and highway, non-residential building, and multiunit housing. Find whether these contractors are the largest in the previous year.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Refer to the Engineering News Record 2019.
Show the names of the largest contractors along with their rankings reported by ENR as shown in Table 1.
|
Contractors Name
| Rank as per ENR 2019 | Rank as per ENR 2018 |
| Bechtel, Reston, Va. | 1 | 1 |
| Fluor Corp., Irving, Texas | 2 | 2 |
| Turner Corp., New York, N.Y. | 3 | 3 |
| AECOM, Los Angeles, Calif. | 4 | 4 |
| The Whiting-Turner Contracting Co., Baltimore, Md. | 5 | 8 |
Refer Table 1.
The table shows the list of the largest contractors as per Engineering News Record 2019.
Compare the rank of these contractors in the year 2019 and 2018.
The top 4 contractors maintained their position in both 2018 and 2019, whereas the contactor The Whiting-Turner Contracting Co, has shown significant growth and attained 5th rank in 2019 when compared to 8th rank in 2018.

- A firm must make a bid on a contract to make 12 units of a new product. Engineering analysis indicates that the nature of this product and its manufacturing processes resemble those for the firm’s current model, so the firm decides to base its bid on the 85 percent learning rate it experienced on that model. If engineers estimate that the first unit will require 10 hours of labor, how many hours will the 12 unit require?

Mr. Jobert commissioned you to estimate the construction of a certain structure. As Engineers, our job includes giving detailed estimate inclusive of labor and materials. If approved, the contract for building the structure will be awarded to you.
