For the final project, use the UP project models.

Grading points will be assigned as follows:

Takeoff40%
Clash Detection 30%
Sequencing30%

What is to be included:

When you export the models to Navis, on the structural models it is ok to turn off the analytical models. See the sectioning guide below. For clash and Timeliner the colors should be set as follows:

Structural steelred,

Concrete Gray,

Mechanical light blue,

Electrical yellow,

Plumbing orange,

Architectural tan,

Glass blue.

Takeoff the following:

  • Perform a takeoff as described below.

Concrete (Watch for duplication in the Arch model)

Structural steelfrom the structural model Only. 3-28-2016

Gypsum wallssee the clarifications below.

  • Pricing

Update the concrete and steel prices from the webpage, for the gypsum systems should be updated from Means. Use Sage Estimating to price out the work. Email me questions and I will post the answers on this page.

For the backer board use 3' x 4' x 5/8”. 4-7-2016

Use 2” as the depth of the stair pans.

Clash Detection

  • The Clash tests should be:
  • Mech vs Structural, MEP4-8-2016
  • Ceilings vs MEP, and Structural4-8-2016for Basement and 3rd floor level.
  • Ignore clashes with the floors such as pipe penetrations. Identify the critical clashes that need to be corrected. Suggest how to resolve the clash in the comments. Clashes along a duct run with joists, a repeating clash, should be grouped together. Upload the NWD file for the clashes.

Timeliner

  • Create a timeline schedule of the project to show the sequence of how you think the project should be built. Movement and sectioning should be incorporated so that the animation communicates clearly the sequencing of the project. Upload the NWD file for the Timeliner.

Clarifications

Concrete & Steel

The concrete should be taken off using Assemblies in Sage Estimating. Properly break out continuous footings, spread footings, mat footings, foundation wall, slab on grade and slab on metal deck.Place topping slabs in Housekeeping pads in Sage Estimating. 3-29-2016

For the round steel columns, use the 3.5” round with a wall thickness of .216.

Exclude the 1 ¼” Rod hangers & Plates 3-28-2016

Do not include the existing concrete or steel in the existing portion of the building. 3-28-2016

Also include the structural steel from the Arch model.

Do not takeoff any concrete walls from the Arch model.

Do not takeoff any Structural Foundation (AKA footings) from the Arch model

Do not takeoff any concrete Columns from the Arch model3-28-2016

Do not takeoff any Structural Framing from the Archmodel3-29-2016

Exclude the wind girts. 3-28-2016

F-01 (Slab on Grade) is 9” thick.3-28-2016

For the TSF 2.0, you can get the dimensional information from the Properties window, on the Element tab. 3-28-2016

Concrete columns CC-1 and CC-2 are 12” x 12”. 3-29-2016

The SEE ARCH columns, use 22” x34” concrete columns. 3-29-2016

Structural Concrete Floors

DAI_Slab on Grade Concrete 4” should be a 4” SOMD with 3” flutes, making a total slab thickness of 7” SOMD. 3-29-2016

DAI_Slab on Grade Concrete 6.25” should be a 3.25” SOMD with 3” flutes, making a total slab thickness of 6.25” SOMD. 3-29-2016

DAI_Slab on Grade Concrete 6” should be a 3” SOMD with 3” flutes, making a total slab thickness of 6” SOMD. 3-29-2016

DAI_Slab on Grade Concrete 7.5” should be a 4.5” SOMD with 3” flutes, making a total slab thickness of 7.5” SOMD. 3-29-2016

DAI_Pedestal Concrete should be a 6” Slab on Grade. 3-29-2016

Use Light Weight Concrete for all Structural SOMD. 3-29-2016

Arch Concrete Floors

Only takeoff the architectural concrete floors labeled Slab on Grade and the Patio Deck. 3-29-2016

Patio Deck, use a 3” Topping Slab. If you want to add a group to the catalog for Topping Slabs, use the WBS of 32.33. 3-29-2016

Wall Takeoff

Only takeoff walls that start with the letter S for the finishes portion of the takeoff.

Break out the CH studs from the MS studs in the walls.

S22 2.5” MS 5 2L2L

S39 3 5/8” MS 1 layer of gyp

S01 Exclude from takeoff.

S373 5/8” ms 1L1L

S66_Stone 6” ms5/8”-1L0L Backer Board

S66 6ms5 - 1L1L

SS29S exclude from takeoff

Installed by tenant gyp, means the studs are installed by us, but the gyp installed by tenant.

Use the CM 411 Layout from Sage Estimating for the report, make sure you name is on the report and that the items are combine and export and upload the PDF. Update the gypsum systems and acoustic ceiling systems prices from Means.

  • Do not call anyone or spend time looking up prices on the internet.
