Construction industry address sustainability?

Image
The construction sector greatly impacts the global economy, but on the flip side, it is also the greatest users of the Earth’s resources, greatest generators of waste, and worst offenders of carbon emissions. The urgency of climate change, resource depletion and degradation of the environment puts the responsible construction of buildings and other infrastructures from here on out as a requirement. Sustainability is no longer an option. The global construction sector is currently undergoing a metamorphosis with the incorporation of eco-friendly, energy-efficient designs, certification for being a green building and other modern technological innovations. This article analyzes the construction industry and the innovations, current practices, and benefits of the industry to the economy, challenges faced and future trends in the industry. It is useful to students, engineers, and persons in the construction trade and construction industry investors. What Is Sustainability in the Construct...

Procedure or Method of Estimating in Construction | Civil Engineering

Image
In the construction industry, estimation is a fundamental process used to projection the probable cost of a project before actual construction begins. Budgeting, Project planning, resource allocation are all made easier with an accurate estimate. It helps both the client and the contractor understand the financial scope of the project, compare tenders and avoid spending beyond budget. To prepare an accurate estimate, a organized approach or procedure must be followed. In this article, we are able to give an explanation for the manner or approach of estimating in construction, the kinds of estimates, the significance of estimation and the step-by means of-step method utilized by expert estimators. What Is Construction Estimating? Construction estimating is a process of predicting the total cost that will be required to complete a construction project. This involves determining the quantities of materials, labor, equipment, and overheads, applying their respective unit rates to find th...

Methods of Taking Out Quantities in Construction

Image
  Introduction One of the most important pre-execution activities in any construction project is measurement and quantity estimation of various inputs like materials, labor, and equipment. This process is generally known as taking out quantities or quantity takeoff. It is the basis of cost estimation, tendering, budgeting, and procurement of materials. Quantity measurements ensure that projects meet their budget criterion, are timely, and minimize waste. Understanding the methods of taking out quantities is important for the financial and technical success of construction projects by civil engineers, contractors, and quantity surveyors. The definition, importance, methods, and procedures concerning quantity take out for different types of construction works are discussed in this article. What is Quantity Takeoff in Construction? Quantity takeoff, also called "T aking out Quantities ", is the process of measuring and listing all materials and work items required for a construc...

Difference Between Approximate and Detailed Estimation

Image
                                    Introduction In any construction project, cost planning and control are built on estimates. It involves estimating the quantities of materials, labor and associated costs before the actual work begins. Estimation ensures that resources are utilized effectively, budgets are adhered to and projects can be funded. In construction, approximate estimation and detailed estimation are the two primary types of estimation. Each serves a different purpose and is used at different stages of a project. This article explores the key differences between them in terms of purpose, process, accuracy, application, and more.                                  1. Definition Approximate Estimation a rough estimate of a project's cost is called approximate estimation, or preliminary estimation. It is ...
