Approximate Estimation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Approximate estimation (fast estimation):<\/strong><\/p>\n

The approximate estimation is prepared before laying the final designs & specification and general specification of the project.<\/p>\n

The purpose of approximate estimation is:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Determine the cost of the structure quickly.<\/li>\n
  2. Make a comparison between several alternatives.<\/li>\n
  3. Checking the final cost of the structure which determined by detailed estimation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Method of used for approximate estimation:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Floor \u2013 Area method. (Price of one square meter of building).<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Use to determine the cost of the following building:<\/p>\n

      (Offices, Schools, Houses, Apartments, Hospitals \u2026..Etc.) .<\/p>\n

      It is the best method for determining the cost of the new building , depending on the results getting from old buildings ( buildingsbuiltbefore ).<\/p>\n

      For the multi-story building there are two assumptions :<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. The cost of all floors with in basement and roof are in equal costs for one meter square.<\/li>\n
      2. The cost of the basement is (60%) and roof is (40%) of the other floors.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Cubic method , (volumetric method )<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          This method is more accurate than the floor-area method.<\/p>\n

          For multi-story buildings apply the following assumptions:<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. All floors are in equal costs for one cubic meter.<\/li>\n
          2. The cost of the basement is (60%) of the cost of the other floors.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            The volume of the floor is calculated as:\u00a0Volume=Area \u00d7Height of one floor<\/p>\n

            The height of one floor is determined as follows:<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Ground floor: the height is from top of the footing to half of the parapet.<\/li>\n
            2. First floor: the height is from top of ground roof to half of the parapet.<\/li>\n
            3. For other floors: the height is from floor to floor.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

               <\/p>\n
