Explanation of Solution

The estimate for any project is to be prepared before the work and various factors influence and contribute to the cost of the work. So before making an estimate for any carpentry or any work, comprehensive and detailed knowledge of principal and practices of the project is required.

The drawing of the project contains information regarding designing, dimension and location of the project but very few details are provided on the drawings of carpentry work of a housing project. It is assumed by architecture that the construction of the building is done by the builder as per the standard codes of the building and construction of the particular area.

So the estimator should be well-known to the building codes and standard methods of framing in the area for accurately estimating the work. He should be also known to the conditions which may require extra work such as the requirement of additional studs, joist and reinforced joints for completion of the project.
