QTF
What is the difference between Ground/1st floor column and column neck interm of cross section?
Ground floor/1st "from floor data"
Column Neck from "Foundation"
What are the main Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) components of our supermarket project? "Hint level one "Supermarket" level two needed
Below Ground - Ground Floor - Sandara floor roof - steel structure - Elevation
What does BOQ stand for?
Bill of Quantities
How can we find the volume of slab on grade "equation"?
Volume = Slab Area x Slab Thickness
How many concrete activities are there in the below ground (B.G)?
17 or 19
4 GB, 4 SOG, 4 CN, 1/3 PC, 4 Foundation
How can we quickly identify the activities in a WBS? "Assume its already drawn"
By looking at the lowest level of the WBS hierarchy
True or False: The contractor is responsible for preparing the quantity take-off (QTO).
Quantity take-off is a part of cost estimate. The quantity take-off is prepared by designer, and contractor has to check as first step of cost estimate
What is the lowest level of a typical WBS called?
(A)Project milestone
(B) Work package
(c) Project charter
(d) Critical path
Work package
What is the volume of the ground floor column, assume you have 4 columns of C1 and 1column C5
for foundation is C1- 0.30x0.60, C5- 0.30 X 0.40
for ground floor C1 - 0.30x0.61, C5 0.30 x 0.41
Column height = 0.6; Floor height = 3.8
C1 C5
4 x (0.3x0.61)x0.6 + 1 (0.3x0.41)X0.6 = 0.513 m^3
What is the difference between quantity take-off and BOQ?
QTO: The process of measuring and calculating the quantities of construction materials and work items from drawings.
BOQ: A structured document that lists the construction work items, their quantities, units, and typically unit rates and total costs.
Example – Supermarket Project
Item
QTO
BOQ
Concrete Footings
50 m³
50 m³ × 25 KD = 1,250 KD
Excavation
100 m³
100 m³ × 3 KD = 300 KD
Reinforcement Steel
2,000 kg
2,000 kg × 0.30 KD = 600 KD
Assume two contractors are assigned to construct two identical buildings using the same drawings and specifications.
"True" or False: Both contractors must develop an identical WBS with the same number of work packages and activities. "Explain Why?
False. Both contractors must cover the required project scope, but they may organize their WBS differently. Furthermore, activities are part of the project schedule and are not necessarily the same as WBS work packages.
Question: If the slab thickness is not indicated directly on the floor plan, does this mean we cannot calculate its concrete volume "and assume there is no slab"?
False. The thickness may be provided in the slab schedule, structural sections, or detailed drawings.
