This book was released on 2016 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis uses quantitative research methods to study detailed cost estimating to determine how accurately this estimating procedure helps landscape architects forecast construction costs in the Dallas - Fort Worth Metroplex. Specifically, this study seeks to determine the benefits for landscape architects in providing detailed cost estimates to their clients as a deliverable during the design process. Considering how accurate forecasts of construction costs could be used to meet clients' budget expectations more effectively, this is an important field of study for landscape architecture. By evaluating the construction documents costs for each of the study's landscapes, the research determines whether construction costs are in fact accurately forecasted by the cost estimation process. This research analyzes the responses from members of the construction development team. The teams are made up of project owners, landscape architects, and prime contractors who may have knowledge of detailed cost estimates. The research determines if these team members were more satisfied with the outcome of the project than clients who did not receive such estimates. Additionally, this research analyzed the construction cost estimation process and construction documents to understand how landscape architecture practitioners benefit from the implementation of detailed cost estimations into their design processes. Detailed cost estimates directly influences design, making the predictive process all the more important for landscape architects to accurately forecast construction costs. This research focuses primarily on the detailed cost estimating process as it was one of the several estimating methods used in determining the actual construction cost for the projects being studied. This research investigated the importance of detailed cost estimating by implementing an online survey strategy. Structured with trade specific question sets for project owners, landscape architects, and prime general contractors, the survey sought to collect data from individuals familiar with landscape construction work, as well as cost estimation. The principals and themes of this data addresses factors such as compliance with local government construction guidelines and building ordinances. Additional data collected from landscape construction specifications, landscape construction design notes, construction details, subcontractor notes and other factors related to estimating landscape construction costs were catalogued into a basic inventory which further organized these data into respective themes. In summary, the collection, inventory and analysis of the data from the study defined a process that contributes to understanding how detailed cost estimating verifies whether the cost of a project is indeed the actual construction cost. The analysis of these findings aided in determining detailed cost estimation is considered an accurate and valuable construction cost forecast tool by landscape architects. Comparisons and findings, in addition to the survey results, also suggested that adapting detailed cost estimating into the design process assists landscape architects deliver projects that accurately matches the construction budget expectations of the owner.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SUPERB EXECUTION RELIES UPON RIGOROUS PROJECT DOCUMENTATION A project will only be built as well as it is documented. This publication focuses on the key documentation needs of the landscape architectural design and construction documentation process. That includes both "design documentation" and "construction documentation" as well as all that which occurs in the transition from one phase to the other. Documentation requirements include those components necessary to explore and define design intent, logic, physical proposals, and ultimately, the specific components included within construction and bid documents. Discover how proper documentation facilitates every stage of the design process from pre-planning to construction, and leads to a highly resolved built outcome. Understand the principles behind these documentation practices. Implement best practices specific to each documentation phase and drawing, from title block and cover sheet design to soil plans and plant protection. Organize keynoting systems, cross-referencing and interdisciplinary coordination amongst multiple consultants and vendors. Study sample project documents from a leading landscape architecture firm to better understand the elements and benefits of complete and well-coordinated project documentation. These standards have been time-tested by over 150 designers at the industry leading landscape architecture firm Design Workshop, reflecting a range of project types, including parks, streetscapes, urban spaces and over-structure construction. This guide shares the methods behind the success, to facilitate exceptional built outcomes through principled documentation practices.

Download or read book Planner's Estimating Guide written by Arthur Nelson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-01-03 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States faces enormous changes in the next 25 years. Arthur C. (Chris) Nelson starts this book with a few projections: The population will grow by one-third to 375 million. We will need 60 million new housing units to house these people. There will be 60 percent more jobs, requiring 50 billion additional square feet of nonresidential space. The bottom line is that half of all development in 2030 will have been built since 2000. Nelson estimates the cost of new construction alone to be at least $20 trillion. This book gives planning practitioners a powerful tool to help decide where to put this new development. It does not advocate one development scenario over another, but it revolutionizes the job of estimating land-use and facility needs. Planner's Estimating Guide offers easy-to-use formulas and worksheets that are formatted in an Excel workbook on CD-ROM and carefully explained in the text. They make it easy to figure future requirements for countless scenarios. The workbook and text deal with a 20-year planning horizon for a fictitious county, but both the time projection and scale are entirely adaptable to myriad local circumstances. The program allows you to gather a first impression of future land-use needs, and revise it to reflect local limitations. For example, if the landscape in question won't support the land-use estimations, change the assumptions in the workbook to devise new estimates. The workbook shows the implications of growth based on standard assumptions; you can change the assumptions as needed to reflect local conditions — including public input — to see how outcomes change. Use the workbook as a model for testing local sensitivities with respect to land supply constraints and changes in policy assumptions. The results won't tell you what to do, but will reveal the numerical implications of different scenarios. The book is written principally for practitioners, and also for planning students as a primary or supplementary text. Used creatively, the powerful tools in Planner's Estimating Guide will help you determine the numerical implications of an almost infinite number of future circumstances that may affect your community.
