Is it possible to download a copy of this or have it sent to me please? This looks super clear from a formatting perspective and to help me understand the progress of my whole scale renovation as I have zero building experience and want to understand how my builders are progressing
Oh it all makes sense now! I’m training as a materials inspector and my supervisor was trying to explain stations to me and the distance from the station at each density check we did and the + sign kept throwing me off. So 207+90 is just 20,790 feet, right?
That architect was genius! I will use that explanation. Sometimes I tell my clients that there is a discovery period. But, that explanation is going in writing. Thank You Very Much!
Thank you very much for this information. I'm in heavy highway construction Training and we started doing blueprint reading yesterday. I was very confused. Thanks to your video I now get what I wasn't understanding. I'll let my instructor know about your video for training. Thanks again!
@@HaiderAli-ot2gg yes lol. The lightweight hollow fiberglass and aluminum composites that weigh over 200 tons flying through the air at almost 500mph can smash through the light gauge steel curtain wall and the structural I beams. It would be hard to find something to stop that mass moving like that lol.
I’m a project manager from the A&E side, so I review/certify these for the owner. But I’m reviewing primarily for payment of work completed. Retainage is governed by the contract. So you’d associate those percentages with work for each line item on the far right column. I’ve also seen contractors put a single line item at the bottom showing % throughout the project, and then 100% at close out.
Civil engineer, here. The 25% increase is a highly local rule of thumb. It depends of local custom and on the type of soil. Some soils shrink and swell more than others. Consult with your local expert. . Geotechnical engineer . Constructor . Subcontractor . Civil engineer . Geologist . Local government . Etc.
So if I build a building pad that is 20x25x2 feet, which has a volume of 40CY taking shrinkage into consideration after compaction. If I add 25% which would bring me to 50CY. Is that a good way to go about calculating how much material I should quote/order to avoid coming up short after compaction?
