  2. Construction estimating software - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Construction_estimating...

    Construction cost estimating software is computer software designed for contractors to estimate construction costs for a specific project. A cost estimator will typically use estimating software to estimate their bid price for a project, which will ultimately become part of a resulting construction contract. Some architects, engineers ...

  3. Construction surveying - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Construction_surveying

    Plans would often show plan views (viewed from above), profile views (a "transparent" section view collapsing all section views of the road parallel to the chainage) or cross-section views (a "true" section view perpendicular to the chainage). In a plan view, chainage generally increases from left to right, or from the bottom to the top of the ...

    Plan the operations need to complete the project; Sell the project to the client Analyzing, designing, and developing basic systems and plants knowledge to be able to improve quality and production; Lead/analyze projects and technical responsibilities that a typical facility would have to go through on a day-to-day basis

  5. Value of work done - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_of_work_done

    The value of work done (VOWD) is a project management technique for measuring and estimating the project cost at a point in time. It is mainly used in project environments of the Petroleum industry and is defined as the value of goods and services progressed, regardless of whether or not they have been paid for or received. The primary purpose ...

  6. Surface plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_plate

    The metal allows itself to be impregnated with the lapping media over a large flat surface. Despite a fall in popularity among machine shops, cast iron remains the most popular material for master surfaces (different use from a surface plates) among laboratory metrologists , machine builders, gauge makers, and other high-accuracy industries ...

  7. Glossary of construction cost estimating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_construction...

    Equipment - (1) a category of cost for organizing and summarizing costs, (2) construction equipment used to execute the project work, (3) engineered equipment such as pumps or tanks. Escalation is defined as changes in the cost or price of specific goods or services in a given economy over a period. In estimates, escalation is an allowance to ...

  8. Structural load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_load

    For example, in designing a staircase, a dead load factor may be 1.2 times the weight of the structure, and a live load factor may be 1.6 times the maximum expected live load. These two "factored loads" are combined (added) to determine the "required strength" of the staircase.

  9. Building airtightness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_airtightness

    q L is the volumetric leakage airflow rate expressed in m 3 h −1; C L is the air leakage coefficient expressed in m 3 h −1 Pa −n; ∆p is the pressure difference across the building envelope expressed in Pa; n is the airflow exponent (0.5 ≤ n ≤ 1) This law enables to assess the airflow rate at any pressure difference regardless the ...
