Pile foundation

Caisson foundation

A type of deep foundation that is ready-made hollow cylinder depressed into the soil up to the desired level and then filled with concrete, which ultimately converts to a foundation.

Space planning

Refers to the utilization of the space and on how it is being laid out and planned for the efficient use of the spaces. Thus, it is an essential part of the interior design process.

Specifications

Talks about the detailed information which regard to the certain project of sites, facilities, or systems. These includes the set of rules and standards that are needed to be followed in the conduct of the planning and construction of buildings.

Building Permits

Are an essential part when it comes to the entirely of the construction process for it ensures that the plans and specifications meet the required standards set forth by the specific codes

Quantity survey

Is a process that deals with the monitoring and management of construction project costs.

Design Drawings

These set out design information and procedures which are required to be used on the works.

Bill of quantities

This itemizes the quantity of materials to enable a tenderer to accurately cost the work for which they are bidding.

Materials Specifications

Such as diameter, type and grade of material for pipes (e.g. polyethylene pipes or UPVC), joining methods or 28-day compressive strength of concrete.

Taking of quantities

Is the process of measuring dimensions from working drawings and recording them in a systematic and concise manner along with the description of each item.

Abstracting

The process by means of which the quantities of items of identical character and descriptions are collected from the “take-off sheets”, totaled and deduction made in order to arrive at the net total quantities of respective items and in trade-wise order called __________.

Billing

It is a claim for the amount of work done or materials supplied.

Building cost

Means the total cost of the work to the owner of all elements of the project designed or specified by the design professional including the cost at current market rates of labor and materials furnished by the owner and equipment designed, specified or specifically provided by the design professional.

Design estimate

In the planning and design stages of a project, various _____________ reflect the progress of the design.

Detailed estimate

Is prepared when competent administrative authority approved the preliminary estimates. This is very accurate type of estimate.

Preliminary estimate

This estimate is generally prepared in initial stages to know the approximate cost of the project. By this estimate, the competent sanctioning authority can decide the financial position and policy for the administration section.

Engineer’s estimate

Is based on the completed plans and specifications when they are ready for the owner to solicit bids from construction contractors. Since it is based on the construction documents, a simple template can help give an initial assessment of costs Involved in a project.

Screening estimate

Is usually made before the facility is designed, and must therefore rely on the cost data of similar facilities built in the past. It determines which construction methods and types are most feasible.

Bid estimate

Contractors prepare this when bidding to construct the project. The contractor's ____________ often reflect the desire of the contractor to secure the job as well as the estimating tools at its disposal.

Control estimate

Prepared after one sign a contractor agreement and before construction gets under way, the _____________ functions as a baseline by which you assess and control actual construction costs.

Cube rate cost estimate

____________ of a building is obtained by multiplying plinth area with the height of building. Height of building should be considered from floor level to the top of the roof level. It is more suitable for multi storied buildings. This method of estimation is accurate than area method.

Approximate quantity method cost estimate

In, ___________ the total wall length of the structure is measured and this length is multiplied by the rate per running meter which gives the cost of the building. The rate per running meter is calculated separately for the foundation and superstructure.

Revised cost estimate

____________ is a detailed estimate and it is prepared when the original sanctioned estimate value is exceeded by 5% or more. The increase may be due to sudden increase in cost of materials, cost of transportation etc.

Supplementary cost estimate

__________ is a detailed estimate and it is prepared freshly when there is a requirement of additional works during the progress of original work. The estimate sheet should consist of cost of original estimate as well as the total cost of work including supplementary cost of work for which sanction is required.

Plinth area cost estimate

__________ is prepared on the basis of plinths area of building which is the area covered by external dimensions of building at the floor level and plinth area rate of building which is the cost of similar balding with specifications in that locality.

labor hour

The _______ or man hour, is a unit of work that measures the output of one person working for one hour.

labor rate

The _________ is the amount per hour one pays to skilled craftsmen. This includes not just the basic hourly rate and benefits, but the added costs of overtime and payroll burdens, such as worker compensation and unemployment insurance.

Equipment cost

____________ refer primarily to the cost of running, and possibly renting, heavy machinery, such as cement mixers and cranes. It's important to note that the equipment in use influences how quickly you can complete the project, so the use of equipment actually impacts many costs outside of those directly associated with running the equipment.

Indirect cost

____________ are expenses not directly associated with construction work, like administrative costs, transport costs, smaller types of equipment, temporary structures, design fees, legal fees, permits, and any number of other costs, depending on the particular project.

Capital cost

__________ are simply the costs associated with establishing a facility. These include the following: the cost of acquiring land; the cost of conducting feasibility studies and the pre-design phase; paying the architect. engineer, and specialist members of the design team; the total cost of construction, which covers not just materials, equipment, and labor, but also administrative, permitting, and supervision costs, as well as any Insurance fees or taxes; the cost of any temporary equipment or structures that are not part of the final construction; the cost of hiring a commissioner; and the cost of inspecting the structure when it's near completion.

Life-cycle cost

_____________ is an approach that assesses the total cost of an asset over its life cycle including initial capital costs, maintenance costs, operating costs and the asset's residual value at the end of its life.

Life cycle cost analysis

____________ is a process of evaluating the economic performance of a building over its entire life. Sometimes known as "whole cost accounting" or "total cost of ownership", it balances initial monetary investment with the long-term expense of owning and operating the building. It is based upon the assumptions that multiple building design options can meet programmatic needs and achieve acceptable performance, and that these options have differing initial costs, operating costs, maintenance costs, and possibly different life cycles.
