Due to market escalation, transportation due to geographical location of site, resource availability, etc., factors limit an accurate estimating for two different costing of two similar projects though. This course has been designed to provoke in students' critical analytical approach on understanding building drawings and quantifying the materials, and able to produce the schedule of quantities, and the schedule of rates by refereeing the market price. In order to estimate the costing of a project, you will be expected to select a building plan from the Plan Database of the Assignment Folder provided on BB. To carry on, you are expected to complete the following tasks for your allocated building: a) Develop a Schedule (Bills) of Quantities with rates for your specified project costing.
