Estimating in Building Construction

52 CHAPTER SIX

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


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


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


9. 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.
