SOLVE Question 1 please
Assume that you are working as a cost estimator in a large exterior enclosure contracting company. You are given with a set of numbers from company's cost database and RS-Means, as shown in Table 1. Using the information provided in Table 1 at the end of the question, please answer the following questions for estimating the cost of the exterior enclosure of a new 5 floor 100,000 SF (square feet) dormitory to be built in 2021 in Brooklyn: 1. At the initial phases of the project, for feasibility studies, you were asked to quote a rough estimate for the cost of exterior enclosure of the dormitory to be constructed in Brooklyn in 2021. No design details for the exterior enclosure were available at the time you were asked to do the estimate. (1.5 points) a. Which items would you use from Table 1 to calculate the cost? Please list only the applicable data item numbers (additional data items will result in point deduction) from Table 1. (0.5 points) b. What type of an estimate is this? (0.5 points) c. What is the rough estimated cost for the exterior enclosure of the new dormitory to be built in Brooklyn in 2021? (0.5 points) 2. A couple of months later, your company got the preliminary design information (as shown in Figure 1), which included information such that (a) the exterior enclosure of the dormitory would be 40,000 square-foot of brick walls, and (b) windows and doors were not detailed yet. You were asked to disregard the previous estimate you did and do another cost estimate for the exterior enclosure of the dormitory building to be built in Brooklyn in 2021. (1.5 points) a. Which items would you use from Table 1 to calculate the cost? Please only list the applicable data item numbers (additional data items will result in point deduction) from Table 1. (0.5 points) b. What is the estimated cost for the exterior enclosure of the new dormitory to be built in Brooklyn in 2021? (0.5 points) C. What type of an estimate is this? (0.5 points) 3. A couple of months later, your company got the detailed estimates and the quantity take off you performed on the drawings gives you the followings (you have already calculated the openings and subtracted them from the overall quantities of the wall): 15,000 SF metal studs, 40,000 SF of face bricks. You are asked to disregard the previous estimate you did in Q2 and do another cost estimate for the exterior enclosure of the dormitory building to be built in Brooklyn in 2021.(2points) a.
