...CHAPTER 2 QUANTITY TAKE-OFF The quantity “takeoff” is an important part of the cost estimate. It must be as accurate as possible and should be based on all available engineering and design data. Use of appropriate automation tools is highly recommended. Accuracy and completeness are critical factors in all cost estimates. An accurate and complete estimate establishes accountability and credibility of the cost engineer, therefore, providing greater confidence in the cost estimate. The estimate contingencies for programming purposes reflect the estimate confidence. 2.1 Importance of Quantity Takeoff and Required Documents The quantity of material in a project can be accurately determined from the drawings. The estimator must review each sheet of the drawings, calculate the quantity of material and record the amount and unit of measure. Each estimator must develop a system of quantity takeoff that ensures that a quantity is not omitted or calculated twice. A wellorganized check-list of work will help reduce the chances of omitting an item. The estimator must, also, add an appropriate percentage for waste for those items where waste is likely to occur during construction. The material quantity takeoff is extremely important for cost estimating because it often establishes the quantity and unit of measure for the costs of labor and contractor’s equipment. 2.1.1 Contract documents The contract is defined by the contract documents, which are developed from...

...1.0 THE RESEARCH TITLE Tendency To Quit Among Women As A Quantity Surveyor In Construction Industry. There are many types of work in the construction industry like architect, engineer and developer. In which, it will focus more about woman who choose to be a quantity surveyor but have shorter lifespan in that scope of work compared to men. 2.0 OVERVIEW OF THE TITLE In Malaysia, number of women involved in the construction industry is said to have not that much compared to other sectors like education and health. However, they still play important part in the construction industry especially quantity surveyor. Unfortunately, they said to retired early and choose other forms of works instead of becoming a quantity surveyor. According to Institution of Surveyors Malaysia (ISM), there are about 4,928 members in the ISM where the number of women is1,500. The areas that they are working are as follows: • Quantity surveying: 42% • Geomatic and land surveying: 13% • Property consultancy and valuation surveying: 24% • Building surveying: 38% It proves that quantity surveyor dominates the chart in the quantity surveyor profession. But, men still beat them in number. According to Sr Wan Maimun Wan Abdullah, President of the Institution of Surveyors Malaysia (ISM), the reason men make up the majority is due to misconceptions by the general public about the surveying profession. Surveyors are often associated with the construction sector – burly men in yellow helmets, filthy...

...During the incident involving Josey Wales of Outlaw Surveys, the surveyor was commissioned to undertake a real property report (RPR) survey in an urban neighbourhood. During initial research by the surveyor, the original survey was found to have been in 1935, and the last prior RPR was known to be in 1963. Upon field inspection, it was found that two block corners could not be located, in which case the surveyor and his crew reestablished them using adjacent block corners. Under the Alberta Surveys Act, Part 1, Section 45 (5), it was not required to monument block corners on a subdivision survey between 1912 and 1988. Instead, there is a frontage measurement proportionate to the total distance between the corners of the block in the same ratio as it is shown on the registered plan, which is the total distance between the block corners. Being that the last survey was done before 1988, block corners are needed to govern....

...I'm not sending in anything heres a yahoo news article: There has been a long-lived bit of Apollo moon landing folklore that now appears to be a dead-end affair: microbes on the moon. The lunar mystery swirls around the Apollo 12 moon landing and the return to Earth by moonwalkers of a camera that was part of an early NASA robotic lander – the Surveyor 3 probe. On Nov. 19, 1969, Apollo 12 astronauts Pete Conrad and Alan Bean made a precision landing on the lunar surface in Oceanus Procellarum, Latin for the Ocean of Storms. Their touchdown point was a mere 535 feet (163 meters) from the Surveyor 3 lander -- and an easy stroll to the hardware that had soft-landed on the lunar terrain years before, on April 20, 1967. [Video: Apollo 12 Visits Surveyor 3 Probe] The Surveyor 3 camera was easy pickings and brought back to Earth under sterile conditions by the Apollo 12 crew. When scientists analyzed the parts in a clean room, they found evidence of microorganisms inside the camera. In short, a small colony of common bacteria -- Streptococcus Mitis -- had stowed away on the device. The astrobiological upshot as deduced from the unplanned experiment was that 50 to 100 of the microbes appeared to have survived launch, the harsh vacuum of space, three years of exposure to the moon's radiation environment, the lunar deep-freeze at an average temperature of minus 253 degrees Celsius, not to mention no access to nutrients, water or an energy source.

...I. Introduction Thomas Anderson, the president of Mountain Resort Development Corporation, is considering on purchasing a property(current date is January 1, 2014) for they intend to expand their business and earn additional profit by building and selling a complex of luxury condominiums. On the other hand, this property that is held for sale is currently zoned for single-family residences only. Thomas believes that in order to have an change in the zoning of the property; to permit the construction of the condominiums, he’d be placing a referendum on the voting ballot that is actually in time for the November election. Then if the majority of votes agrees the zoning change can be granted, but if the zoning change is rejected the best option for Mr. Anderson is not to proceed on purchasing the property. Another thing is that this property could only be attained and owned by the corporation through bidding. The bid requires a certified check, with is worth 10% of the amount bid, this will serve as an initial payment but if the bids are rejected, the deposits are refunded. Mr. Anderson is willing to bid P5 million to secure and purchase the property, for he relies on his initial judgment and experience. The deadline of submission of bids is on May 15, 2014 and the winning bid will be announced on August 1, 2014. Mr. Anderson had conducted a preliminary analysis and it showed that the referendum for a zoning change will be approved and it also...

...contribute to our understanding of quality and safety. Quality indicators are advocated as being more effective measures. The issue remains unresolved as to whether they examine similar or different aspects of health care performance and quality. Surveyor workforce: sustainability, role, and reliability; Surveyors are an important element of accreditation programs. Accrediting agencies can have surveyor workforces comprised of full-time or part-time (usually volunteer) surveyors. The ongoing support and development of this workforce requires careful management. Surveyor workforce sustainability and the reliability of their surveys are ongoing challenges for accreditation agencies. Accrediting agencies face difficulties in being able to continually employ appropriately experienced health professionals as surveyors. “The demands of their regular employment can be incompatible with the time required to participate as a surveyor. The surveyor role is a demanding one. It can include educator, judge, evaluator, regulator, or a combination of these functions” (Sollecito, 2018). The status of the accreditation program, whether mandatory or voluntary, will shape the focus of the role and how it is perceived by others. A health professional taking on the surveyor role may be comfortable with some part but not others, or with combining the roles. Expanding the evidence base for accreditation; the necessity to expand the evidence base for accreditation is noted in the literature. Securing more empirically...

...DIVYA BHASKAR – A Case In 1996, the forty year old Bhopal-based newspaper group Dainik Bhaskar had a circulation of 350,000 copies per day in Madhya Pradesh. By 2004, this had grown by more than 1000 percent to 3.5 million (2.3 million in Hindi and 1.2 million in Gujarati across six states in India: Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Haryana, Chandigarh and Gujarat), making it one of the top twenty-five dailies in the world. In a little over ten years, Bhaskar has achieved circulation figures that others in global newspaper business taken nearly a century to achieve. Today Bhaskar has a collective circulation of a approximately 4.4 million across its titles – Dainik Bhaskar, Divya Bhaskar, Saurashtra Samchar, Prabhat Kiran, Business Bhaskar, DB Star and DNA. Bhaskar’s rapid growth has occurred in an unlikely setting. All the large, powerful media groups in India are based in the English language. Although Hindi is the most widely used spoken language in India, the vernacular press is highly segmented with small, regional papers holdings sway. No local language newspaper has been able to cut across states the way English newspaper have. Further, the newspaper business was, and still is, a game of slow growth over generation of readers. People don’t easily change newspaper-reading habits and if they do, it takes several years of persistent wooing to get them to shift. But consider this: In Jaipur, its first city of launch outside Madhya Pradesh, Dainik Bhaskar...
