After identifying the relevant construction drawings that are associated with your scope of work, create a calculation spreadsheet to identify the various materials required to complete only one of the components of your scope of work (see the note above) and estimate their quantities. At this stage, no cost is estimated. For example, if you have chosen Option 1, your spreadsheet may include only Concrete, and if you have chosen Option 2, your spreadsheet may include only Masonry.
Note: Since in Module 2, the Portfolio Milestone focused on using computer programs to prepare quantity takeoff, you are encouraged to use computer programs to estimate the physical material quantities.
Provide a two-page narrative to briefly describe your scope of work (only the component you chosen above), the steps you took to prepare material quantity takeoff (the way you estimated the quantities of work), and basis for estimate (assumptions, inclusions, and exclusions of the cost estimate).
Paper Requirements:
Incorporate at least two of the recommended readings for the course and two outside references (a peer-reviewed scholarly article published in the last five years, that you would find among library resources).
