Estimation

Estimation of construction projects is a very complex process containing many variable factors. This skill is not easily acquired. Proper study, training and experience are needed to become proficient in construction project cost estimating.


The best references for cost estimation are similar projects. Final cost items and related expenses of similar projects helps in estimation which are invaluable.Costs for materials and supplies, plus shipping charges are required prior to starting estimation process.


Project site conditions that can increase construction costs are: poor soil conditions, wetlands, contaminated materials, conflicting utilities (buried pipe, cables, overhead lines, etc.), environmentally sensitivity area, ground water, river or stream crossings, heavy traffic, buried storage tanks, archaeological sites, endangered species habitat and similar existing conditions.



Contractors

Building a house is a complicated process that involves knowledge of architectural design, building codes, zoning regulations and basic construction elements. A residential building contractor oversees the construction of individual houses and multi-unit housing projects. A commercial building contractor oversees the construction and remodeling of stores, malls, hotels and other commercial projects. Most building contractors own their own companies and many of them worked in the construction industry before becoming contractors.


A building contractor finds, solicits bids from and schedules all of the subcontractors that are necessary to complete the project. The new homeowner or business owner contracts with the building contractor, and the building contractor contracts with the subcontractors and suppliers. Contractors typically charge from 10 percent to 15 percent of the total project cost for this service


A contracting company can be a single, self-employed individual or a large corporation with a board of directors, supervisors, site and project managers and office staff. The size and scope of a contractor’s business often correlates with the need for housing or business development where the contractor lives. In small, rural areas, a contractor might employ a handful of framing carpenters and subcontract with specialty contractors who provide other construction services.

Valuation

Valuation of a building depends on the type of the building, its structure and durability, on the situation, size, shape, frontage, width of roadways, the quality of materials used in the construction and present day prices of materials. Valuation also depends on the height of the building, height of the plinth, thickness of the wall, nature of the floor, roof, doors, windows etc


This method of Valuation is suitable for buildings like hotels, cinemas, theatres etc for which the capitalized value depends on the profit. In such cases, the net income is worked out after deducting gross income; all possible working expense, outgoings, interest on the capital invested etc. The net profit is multiplied by Year’s Purchase to get the capitalized value. In such cases, the valuation may work out to be high in comparison with the cost of construction.


If a large place of land is required to be divided into plots after providing for roads, parks etc, this method of valuation is to be adopted. In such cases, the probable selling price of the divided plots, the area required for roads, parks etc and other expenditures for development should be known.
