The objective of the term project assignment is to prepare a Bid Proposal for constructing a one-story single family house (MAKU Residence). Students must approach the assignment from the perspective of a construction contractor attending a bid, and prepare a professional price proposal using their knowledge, skills and common sense. This requires proper efforts with regards to: \u2022 Reading and understanding plans; \u2022 Recognizing construction work items; \u2022 Surveying the quantity for various types of work; \u2022 Using cost databases to acquire cost of construction efforts; \u2022 Estimating indirect and total cost of construction; and \u2022 Submitting and presenting a professional proposal of their cost estimation. General requirements of the proposal are as following: \u2022 This is an individual assignment and students will not be allowed to work in groups. \u2022 Use the project plans and other reference material posted on Canvas to identify the scope of work in this project and complete the quantity take-off. \u2022 Follow the CSI MasterFormat\u00ae (2004 Edition) in organizing the cost estimate proposal. \u2022 Use the R.S. Means Online website (https:\/\/www.rsmeansonline.com) to get cost data for all identified work items. It is the students\u2019 responsibility to follow up on the invitation email to setup an account on the R.S. Means Online website and to inform the instructor immediately if they have not received such email (double check your email spam folder). \u2022 In case of any missing or incomplete information, students can make reasonable and justifiable assumptions. All assumptions must be clearly listed in the proper sections of the proposal, as described later in this document <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
