Provide a two-page narrative to briefly describe your scope of work, the steps you took to prepare material quantity takeoff, and basis for estimate.

Proposal and Estimate—Concrete and Finishes, and Option #2: Proposal and Estimate—Wood Structures and Masonry

First, improve what you submitted in Week 3 based on any constructive feedback you received from the instructor, and include the improved version of your work as part of your submissions this week.

This week, you then need to prepare a calculation spreadsheet that satisfies the following requirements:

Each Portfolio Option contains two components. Option 1 contains Concrete and Finishes, and Option 2 contains Wood Structures and Masonry.

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).
