Estimating in Building Construction

(Barré) #1

52 CHAPTER SIX



  1. How may the weather, climate, and season during which
    the project is to be constructed affect the overhead
    costs?

  2. Where would the cost of temporary utilities be put in
    the estimate?

  3. How would the estimator determine who is responsible
    for what cost portion of supplying the temporary utilities?

  4. How can a preliminary work schedule of the project
    help the estimator?
    10. Define contingency amounts and how some estimators
    use them.
    11. If a full set of contract documents is available, make a
    list of overhead expenses required for the project. If a set
    is not available, make another trip to the plan room and
    review a set of documents on file there.
    12. Using the plans and outline specifications in Appendix A,
    prepare a bar chart schedule for the construction of the
    project.
