Building design solutions play a crucial role in achieving accurate cost estimates. By leveraging advanced software and technology, we can create detailed 3D models and simulations, allowing for precise calculations of material quantities and labor costs. This approach minimizes errors, reduces waste, and ensures that projects stay within budget while meeting all design specifications.
CONCRETE
- We divide the concrete work into these sub-divisions
- Spread Footing (also called pad or isolated footing)
- Concrete Pedestal
- Continuous Footing
- Concrete Wall
- Grade Beams
- Concrete Columns
- Concrete Wall Panels
- Slab on Grade
- Elevated Slab
- Concrete Topping Over Steel Treads and Landing
- Pre-cast concrete panels
- Grouting (Non-shrink, Epoxy)
- The above sub-divisions are further broken out into five major categories as;
- Concrete
- Rebar
- Formwork
- Excavation/Backfill
Now we will explore all five components of the concrete estimation.
- Concrete
- We provide the concrete as per following
- Grade wise break out of concrete (3000 PSI, 3500 PSI, 4000 PSI, etc.)
- Location wise breakout (Footing, Beams, Slabs, etc.)
- Type wise break out (P1. GB1, B1, SOG-1, etc.)
- Floor wise break out (First floor, second floor, etc.)
- Specialty placed concrete (Dry-mix shotcrete, Wet-mix shotcrete)
- Concrete finish (High-Tolerance finish, Heavy-Duty Finish, Colored-Concrete finish, Polished Concrete, etc.)
- Rebar
- We provide the steel rebar as per following
- Material wise breakout (Steel, Glass fiber reinforced polymer)
- Grade wise break out (Grade 40, Grade 60, Grade 75, etc.))
- Size wise breakout (#3, #4, #5, #6, etc.)
- Location wise break out (Horizontal bars, Longitudinal bars, stirrups/ties, dowels, etc.)
- Floor wise break out (First floor, second floor, etc.)
- Dowels into existing footing
- Epoxy coated bars
- Fibrous reinforcement (Steel fiber, Synthetic fiber)
- Fiber and grid reinforcing (Plain, galvanized, epoxy-coated welded wire fabric (WWF))
- Formwork
- We provide the Formwork as per following
- Location wise break out (e.g., spread footing, continuous footing, concrete wall etc.)
- Floor wise break out (First floor, second floor, etc.)
- Edge Form
- Formwork accessories (Chamfers, sleeves, hangers, stair tread inserts, etc.)
- Excavation/Backfill
- We provide the Excavation/Backfill as per following
- Location wise break out (e.g., spread footing, continuous footing, concrete wall etc.)
- Haulage of excessive soil
- Concrete Items
- concrete items included
- Aggregate base course under slab
- Vapor barriers
- Insulation
- Control joints for slab
- Expansion joists for slab
- Drainage pipe
- Installation of steel plates
- Installation of hold downs
- Pre-cast concrete lintels
- Pre-cast window sills
